A community transport charity aiming to tackle loneliness & isolation in Broseley and Much Wenlock (Shropshire)

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘄𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲?
Volunteering is fun, rewarding, interesting and keeps you active.

Some of our volunteers felt lonely and "without purpose" once they retired, and some fit it in around other commitments to give back to their community. Some were new to the area and wanted to meet new people and have continued doing it as they enjoy it so much!

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 take Members to their appointment (usually medical) in their own vehicle.
𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 take Members shopping each week and on social trips.

Snapshots from some of our recent trips!

06/10/2025

It's Community Transport Week ( ) and we have over 60 community car journeys in our diary this week that are going to medical appointments. Our amazing volunteers give up their time and use their own vehicle to take Members to their appointments.

The service enables members to access preventative healthcare, avoid appointments being missed or needing a more costly home visit.

Just one community car journey can have big financial and welfare implications. Multiply that by 60 for a typical week and the impact of community transport groups can easily be seen.
