Volunteer Driver and Car Scheme

What does it do?

The service is available for regular journeys - going to clubs or out-patient treatment, for example - and also for one-off visits such as to the doctor's surgery or shops.

The Newbury Volunteer Driver and Car Scheme provide transportation for people who find it difficult to use public transport. This may be because you are elderly, but we also provide a service to permanently or temporarily disabled people and to children and families.

We offer the service for regular journeys – going to clubs or out-patient treatment, for example – and also for one-off visits such as to the doctor’s surgery or shops.

How much does it cost?

We request that you pay a mileage-related contribution to reimburse the driver for his petrol and running costs. The drivers do not receive any payment for their time which is donated voluntarily. Local journeys are £8, other destination costs will be discussed at the time of your booking.
