Community Transport to the shops and doctors
Our Community Transport provides affordable transport via minibus or car if you want to get to the doctors or shops, visit relatives or friends or to social events. It can be a lifeline if public transport is limited or non-existent in your area or if you find it difficult to get around using public transport. The scheme is run by friendly volunteers.
