The Wokingham Transport Scheme needs you!
All you need is your own car and some time- there is no cost to you as we reimburse all your expenses.
We are looking for:
- Drivers who can provide transport for older people to attend vital medical appointments such hospitals, local doctors, dentists, opticians, physiotherapists.
- Drivers who can help with one off social trips (such as shopping and visiting friends/family in hospital/care homes etc).
- Drivers for more regular social trips (such as to a lunch club or activity which may involve dropping them of and picking them up later rather than waiting with them).
Time commitment can be very flexible.
If you live in Wokingham, Finchampstead, Winnersh or Barkham and you would like to help, please get in touch!
You must have a full driving licence and your own car. No specialist car insurance is needed. Unfortunately, we cannot take on any new volunteers aged under 21 or 75. Commitment is ongoing and we ideally need a minimum of one day (or a couple of mornings or afternoons) per week of your time. The vast majority of our drives are weekdays and daytimes, so your availability would need to align with this.
Please contact Helena Badger, Volunteer Services Manager via email [email protected] or call 0118 977 0749 to discuss.
