TRANSPORT
John Storer Charnwood Community Transport
The support network that has been achieved as a result of regular contact between passenger and driver is invaluable, as is the time and care taken by the driver when older and disabled people use our services. The drivers are often the first person the passenger meets in a morning. Each passenger is greeted with respect, patience and understanding as the drivers are fully aware of their individual needs and routines which enable them to leave their homes confidently.
Social Car Scheme
The Social Car Scheme is for passengers requiring car journeys driven by volunteer drivers for shopping, primary health care appointments, visiting, leisure, hairdresser etc. Please contact Hayley on 01509 631761 to discuss eligibility and cost.
