Around 20 drivers assist about 25 residents to get to medical appointments, under a variety of County Council / Care Network supported schemes.
Drivers are recompensed by clients at 30p per mile and may claim further 15p per mile from the County Council, and have to be willing to complete an application form, and be CRB checked. Those who would like to volunteer as drivers should contact Molly Helmsing on 263203.
Those who would like to book a lift should contact the Lift Co-ordinator on the mobile phone 07800 883634 between the weekday hours of 9.00am – 5.00pm. The scheme does not normally operate at weekends. Please telephone me to discuss any car scheme matters. Liz Heazell, 870289
