The volunteers on the Community Car service have been working exceptionally hard in the first six months of 2008 and between the 38 drivers we have driven over 151,000 miles. Over 60% of these miles has involved getting people to day centres and work shops who would otherwise be isolated in their homes.
The demand for transport to hospitals has increased by over 30% - which may be due to the difficulties people now experience in getting hospital cars and the problems faced by using public transport to get to the hospitals. Thanks to our volunteers over 300 journeys have been undertaken taking people to their appointments and for treatment. Thanks to our local health centres we have been able to subsidise these runs ensuring affordable transport.
