Fare4Free was formed in 2016 to: • Provide transport solutions for the Armed Forces Community where public transport is unavailable or not suitable across Scotland. • Reduce missed appointments and ensure the continuation of treatment plans. • To increase wellbeing, reduce anxiety and encourage integration back into the community. Our bespoke service provides a person-centred journey and is split into three categories: • Medical - focusing on the beneficiaries’ requirements while attending hospital, mental health, or therapeutic based appointments. • Wellbeing - as we introduce our beneficiaries back into their local community and support them in the transition to start attending local activities, events, and volunteering opportunities. • Intelligent signposting and onward referrals - to over 50 collaborative partners supporting with any additional needs from financial guidance, home adaptations and available statutory services. The Volunteer Outreach Support Driver (VOSD) is at the heart of Fares4Free by making sure that our clients are where they need to be at the right time. They will be responsible for checking their vehicle before and after work and keeping it clean inside and out. VOSDs are our designated area specialists who understand the communities they operate within fully and the wide range of services available to them. They are passionate about getting it right, are able communicators and focused on using their experience to connect people with the help that they need.

The FARESHARE warehouse at Kendal Crescent Alness has been a huge success and we are now delivering 40% of the surplus food into the region to over 40 members. We are looking for extra support to get our van on the road an extra 4/5 days a month which will allow us to get more surplus food out to our members. We are looking for people who can commit to 1 or 2 days a month, during the week, to deliver surplus food to groups across the region. Full training and safety equipment will be given. We have our own van. This is a real opportunity to support your communities. We expect to deliver between 160/200 tonnes of surplus food to our member this year. We want to increase this.
