Royal Voluntary Service Community Transport
Royal Voluntary Service Community Transport is a door-to-door scheme that gives older people the freedom to get out and about. For instance we can help:
– To visit family or friends – To go to a lunch club – To go shopping – To attend any health appointments
And when you reach your destination, our volunteers can lend a hand if needed. The cost for any journey is mileage based (approx. 60p per mile). Just tell us where you’d like to go and we will give you a cost for this journey. All volunteers are DBS checked
Older people Minimum notice to book transport is 48hrs
