Richmondshire Volunteer Community Car Transport Scheme.....

This is a volunteer operated community car scheme set-up by the RCVS...the aim being to provide access to car transport which offsets various reasons such as age, inability to drive, location, etc.

Typical requests include journeys to and from hospital outpatients as well as doctor and dentist appointments.

There is a charge of 40pence per mile, to cover the drivers car and fuel expenses, although there is no charge for waiting time.

We can send you out one of our information leaflets which gives more details together with information on the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust's own 'Patient Transport Service' and its eligibility criteria.

If you would like to find out more then please give John a call on 01748-822537 or please email john.rcvs@virgin.net.

Volunteers Welcomed....

We welcome new volunteer drivers..., as we can always do with more people registered with us to help continue this important local support service.

You may have some time to spare or even know someone who could help as a volunteer driver.. giving an hour or two every now and then can make all the difference...!

Volunteering can be very rewarding...
- you can meet new and interesting people
- help provide a transport option for people in your local community
- assist with access to vital services i.e. hospitals, doctor or dental appointments
- transport people for much needed respite care or to visit relatives

All volunteer drivers are CRB checked and mileage costs are paid by the user or agency.
The RCVS provides support and training (where applicable) for its valued volunteers.

Why not get in touch, ask for more details or even call into our offices in Richmond where we will be happy to help or advise.

Call John on 01748-822537 or email me at john.rcvs@virgin.net
