Driving members from their homes to our day centres or services is a great and fulfilling way to help people access activities and services that they may not be able to enjoy otherwise. You can volunteer to drive someone either one way or both. As well as helping people top get to where they need to be, it is a nice opportunity to build relationships and for them to enjoy a friendly chat during the journey. Journeys can be chosen to suit you and can be in an area where you know or live.
