Why volunteer?

Many voluntary car schemes are looking for new drivers. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference to someone in your community.

What are the benefits?

Volunteering helps people access vital services and reduces social isolation. It’s a rewarding way to spend your time and connect with others.

What does a volunteer driver do?

Volunteer drivers help people attend medical appointments, go shopping, visit friends or family, and connect with public transport. You choose how much time you give.

Who volunteers?

Volunteers come from all walks of life retirees, students, and working people who want to give back to their community.
