pickering community transport

     This scheme, which is a registered charitable trust, helps people without suitable access to public or private transport to attend doctor and hospital appointments and make essential shopping trips mainly with the help of volunteer drivers using their own cars.

      The demand for this service is steadily increasing but, unfortunately, there is at present a shortage of drivers in the Pickering area. As with all voluntary work  there is great satisfaction to be gained from helping those in need. We only ask volunteers to work if and when they are available and a mileage allowance is paid so that you are not giving money as well as time.

       If any readers of The Beacon feel that they can offer their services would they please contact the scheme's office on 01653 699059  where they will be given full details of the scheme.

            Thank you very much.
