Travel Service - Volunteer Drivers

Enjoy driving? Want experience in a Criminal Justice setting? Or perhaps you already have some experience and want to contribute in another way… Sacro’s Travel Service in Edinburgh is recruiting for more volunteer drivers. The Travel Service aims to provide a regular transport service to many of Scotland’s prisons and the State Hospital at Carstairs. The service is part of Sacro’s Throughcare Service enabling prisoners to maintain important contact with their families and friends which research has shown helps to reduce reoffending. We pick up our registered passengers from their home address and take them to their arranged visit before returning them home again completely free of charge. Sacro’s work could not be successfully conducted without the dedication and skill of its volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering with us, we would ask you to be able to commit to volunteering for at least a year and be regularly available. We reimburse our volunteer drivers for their mileage at a rate of 50p per mile.

Van Driver

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. The scheme is Falkirk wide and referrals are made through Falkirk Council homelessness services. As the project continues to grow and we reach more people, we need help with managing the load! 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. If you have a full drivers license and are keen to get involved with this friendly and proactive group, then we'd love to hear from you!
