Community car schemes
Community car schemes are operated by
volunteers for people who have difficulty using public
transport. Volunteer drivers provide this service with their
own cars for a small charge. It is much cheaper than using a
taxi. The service must be booked 24 to 48 hours in
advance. Some schemes specialise in transport to medical
appointments while others cater for other journey
requirements e.g social visits..

are reimbursed according to the mileage rate for their
vehicle. If you are interested in volunteering please contact the
scheme that is nearest to you. If you require any more information
