They are involved in

Community Car Scheme

The Community Car Scheme helps people who have difficulty using public transport or who must travel where there is no public transport available. The most common types of journey requested are to get to health and social care related appointments. The Scheme is supported by volunteers using their own cars who are paid a mileage allowance. Passengers are charged a contribution towards the drivers’ expenses. 48 hours notice of journey bookings is required.

Community Visiting Scheme

The Community Visiting Scheme uses volunteers to visit people in their own home and to provide a range of voluntary help. This may involve giving family or other carers a break from their caring responsibilities or just calling in to see someone who might benefit from such a visit. The visits are normally weekly or fortnightly for about an hour or two at a time to suit both the volunteer and the persons being visited.
