Our community transport service helps older people to get out and about when walking or public transport is not an option. Main duties include escorting clients from their home to the car and providing transport for a variety of reasons. These can be taking the client to visit family or friends, go to a lunch club, shopping or to an appointment. A friendly helpful approach is all that is needed. This role is flexible and depends on your availability.

Do you have an eye for detail? Do you like meeting people and getting outdoors? Do you have any free time to help at this local charity? We are looking for volunteers to help out in our busy shop and be part of our small friendly team.
