Registered Charity No.: 801804

A VOLUNTEER TRANSPORT GROUP FOR RESIDENTS OF
WALTON-ON-THAMES AND HERSHAM

Residents of Walton-on-Thames and Hersham who are unable to use public transport and are not eligible for hospital transport, can ring us for help. Our Volunteer Drivers will take them to medical appointments at Health Centres and hospitals, dental appointments in the area, and chiropody appointments at Day Centres, and will collect occasional emergency prescriptions and shopping.

To continue this work, which has been in operation since 1988, the group desperately needs

VOLUNTEER DRIVERS!

It is not an onerous task, and many of our Volunteers help for just an hour or two each week.

No regular commitment is required – we do not ask you to be available on any particular day – and there is absolutely no obligation to accept a 'job' when the Duty Officer rings you.

You will not be asked to help anyone with an acute illness or disability, though some may need a little assistance getting into the car. You will be informed of any such circumstances beforehand.

Your own car insurance will cover passengers in the normal way (but our Volunteers are advised to tell their insurance companies that they are driving for a charity) and we hold Public Liability Insurance for £1m.

You may claim a mileage allowance of 40p per mile, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are providing a valuable service for those in need in our community – and we know from many personal testimonies how much this service is appreciated.

Can you help? If so, please ring 07570 919 883 or email beemor1@gmail.com and one of the Committee will be more than happy to contact you.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN – WE REALLY NEED YOU.
