The Voluntary Network was established in 2000, providing Community Transport and a Befriending Service across West Suffolk and neighbouring Cambridgeshire.
Connecting Communities provides transport for those who would otherwise be rather isolated. They have an increasing number struggling to access medical appointments and are therefore looking to increase their volunteer team.
If you enjoy driving and have some spare time, you may be just the person they are looking for to support Connecting Communities.
Connecting Communities is a transport service that helps people to access local services.
Last year Connecting Communities provided over 30,000 passenger journeys, many were made possible through the support of volunteer drivers.
Volunteer car drivers use their own vehicles to help with various journeys, largely to attend medical appointments. Expenses are paid at 45p per mile. They will support your enhanced DBS check and MiDAS training.
Connecting Communities are looking for new volunteers to add to their team. If you are interested and would like to find out more, please call 01638 664304.
