Whether at home, in hospital, or visiting their hospices, they give families the care and support they need, when they need it.

Home 2 Hospital is a newly registered charity, set up by a group of volunteers, which is mirrored from three existing charities in different local areas. Our joint mission is to help cancer patients attend medical appointments on time and ease their stress by being chauffeured in comfort by our friendly and caring volunteers. Our service is easily accessible and completely free for all patients. We need to build a team of 20 -25 volunteer drivers to support the anticipated demand for this service with the Larbert & Stenhousemuir community. The client and the driver will agree what time to leave in order to arrive at the hospital on time. The driver will usually wait at the hospital until the client has received their treatment and once finished head straight home. This reduces stress as the client doesn't have to leave early to accomodate other patients or wait until everyone is finished before heading home. Travelling by car is more comfortable than a minibus and also reduces the infection risk for clients who may have a weakened immune system. Drivers will be trained on the routes and parking places at hospitals.

Volunteers will have the satisfaction of enabling a diverse range of community groups and also Tweeddale residents with a disability to access social and recreational activities, attend meetings and appointments etc. Volunteers can benefit themselves from the outings and may choose to get further involved with groups for whom they drive. Drivers also benefit from MIDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) training which is recognised throughout the UK as the standard course for volunteer drivers involved in community transport.

ROOTS WWV (Woman with a Van) is a scheme run by ROOTS HHFS Food Bank, a grassroots community group based in Bonnybridge, in conjunction with Falkirk Council. We help those moving forward from homelessness move into accommodation by offering the van to transport household items, and sourcing and collecting start up items for those who are moving with little to nothing.

We are seeking a volunteer who can drive our van and help with the moves and collections. If you can help with the lifting and carrying then that's an added bonus too! This is a flexible role but many of the drives can be during the working week.

Opened in 2019, the Health and Wellbeing Centre at Dumfries House provides a range of holistic services to the local community. Services are GP and patient-led, with referrals from primary and secondary care providers. Run by The Prince’s Foundation, it provides an Integrated Health and Wellbeing Programme, with the centre also open to health charities and other organisations. The organisation is running a range of health care programmes for the community free of charge, such as Chronic Pain, Obesity and Weight Management, and Mental health courses. These are open to anyone in Ayrshire. Although based at the wonderful Dumfries House Estate at the health and wellbeing centre, this location might also be problematic to people who would like to join but do not have the means and ways to get to the estate since there is no public transport links. Volunteer drivers would support both us as a foundation but more importantly the participants. Volunteer drivers transport people from their homes to Dumfries House and back to their residences, using their own vehicles. The volunteer drivers are reassured that the participants will be assessed that they are fit to get in and out of the vehicles on their own. The different wellbeing programmes run in between 6 to 12 weeks with morning and/or afternoon sessions. Each session lasts for 3 hours and volunteer drivers can either opt to leave and return the estate or else enjoy a walk in the grounds and a complimentary tea or coffee. Personal Qualities: • The ability to be supportive, non-judgemental and accepting of others. • Warmth, sensitivity and a willingness to listen. • Patience and understanding. • Enjoy interacting with people. • Willingness to get involved. • An understanding of the importance of a regular commitment.

Volunteer Drivers with Boness Car 4U will be asked to take people registered with any Bo'ness Medical Practice who have been diagnosed with cancer from their homes to places of treatment, then home again, using their own vehicles. The service the volunteers provide is much needed giving patients the dignity, respect and convenience that they deserve at a difficult time in their lives and is greatly appreciated by them. We know that helping in this way gives volunteers a lot of role satisfaction and below we've noted more information about what the role looks like in practice, and what the expectations are so interested people can make sure it's the right role for them: We pay our drivers 40 pence per mile for fuel used and this had no effect on any benefits the driver may be in receipt of. Insurance premiums should be unaffected but we advise drivers to notify their insurers to let then know they intend to use the car for voluntary work. Each volunteer driver will be asked to undergo a process of safeguarding training and (in order to comply with the Protection of Vulnerable Groups scheme) following this they will be PVG checked/gain a PVG certificate for their voluntary role with BC4U (this is cost free to the volunteer). Drivers are issued with a clear plastic cough screen which is fitted to the vehicle headrests which provides a physical sneeze guard between the front and rear seats of the car, and are also issued with a holdall containing PPE. Drivers are notified of the name, address and phone number of the patient and the time date and location of the place of treatment. The driver phones the patient the night before the drive, confirming the time they will be picked up and due to the pandemic will ask the patient if they are displaying any of the recognised symptoms of COVID-19. At the pick up they will confirm this information and take a temperature reading of the patient using a contactless infrared forehead thermometer. The patient will travel in the back seat of the car, diagonally opposite the driver and must wear a face covering if it is safe for them to do so. On arrival at the place of treatment the driver ensures the patient has their mobile phone number to tell them when they are finished and ready to be picked up. If the course of treatment is lengthy, it may be arranged that one driver takes the patient to hospital and another conveys them home. BC4U hopes to launch service in 2022, we are keen to build a bank of volunteers in advance of launching our services.

To be able to drive you would need a D1 on your license. If you wish to volunteer, or know someone who might be interested, please get in touch with us.

Driving our Long Wheel Base delivery vans, you will deliver food to other charities throughout Tayside and Fife. The food is delivered to groups serving those experiencing food poverty. FareShare receives donated food from the supply chain that is surplus and would end up in the waste stream. Environmentally and socially this is a great cause and we welcome those interested in helping in whatever way possible.

We redistribute food, which would end in in waste, to non-profit organisations in Tayside and Fife. These groups then provide meals for people who are experiencing food poverty, social isolation or other hardship. We need driver's assistants who can give a few hours to help deliver food to our members. This is a vital part of providing a valuable service to thousands of individuals in need. Working as part of a team, the van crew load and unload crated food to local community food members. If you are reasonably fit and able bodied and can give a few hours you could make a real difference to a project that is so important to so many.
