After the success of the Beverley Community Lift Car Scheme, we aim to launch a much needed Community Car Scheme in Pocklington, Market Weighton & the High Wolds area of East Yorkshire that will support the entire community including the elderly and disabled and help to combat social isolation.

    Situation

    We aim to operate a door-to door Community Car Service which uses volunteer drivers, in their own cars, to take people on pre-arranged journeys/appointments, to eg. doctors, dentists, hospital. This is provided for people who find public transport extremely difficult, whether it be that they cannot walk to the bus/climb on and off the bus/are disabled and need support and an escort. The scheme will work on donations and the voluntary drivers will be paid an allowance for the milage.
