COMMUNITY TRANSPORT SERVICES
COMMUNITY TRANSPORT
Our community transport scheme is here for anyone struggling to access or use
public transport. It’s a safe and affordable way to travel locally. You can use the
service for all sorts of journeys – health appointments, shopping trips, social clubs or
visiting friends.
Our scheme is driven by friendly and reliable volunteer drivers who use their own
vehicle to collect members from their home address and ensure they get home again
safely. All volunteer drivers have been DBS checked and received full training.
Joining is easy – all you have to do is call our friendly team for a membership form
and pay a membership fee. For every journey you take, there is a £3 booking fee to
pay and your driver will calculate the mileage at 45p per mile – this needs to be paid
in cash, directly to the driver.
To request a membership form, give us a call:
Newark and Sherwood: 01636 679539
Gedling and Rushcliffe: 0115 969 9060

“I have been a volunteer driver for nearly ten years and have found it very rewarding.
The passengers are always very appreciative of the service, where going to hospital, shopping or a social event.
Many of them like to have a good chat on the way, whichis always interesting. It is a very worthwhile service”
– Richard, Volunteer Driver
