Volunteer car driver
Help older people get to vital healthcare appointments by being a volunteer driver.
What do volunteer drivers do?
As a volunteer driver for our car scheme; using your own car, you will help to provide essential door-to-door transport for passengers identified by Age UK North Craven who have difficulties using public or other forms of transport. Without our volunter drivers, they couldn't get to their vital healthcare appointments. You'll get your fuel expenses covered.
What you will get out of it
- It's a great way to meet people who use our transport service.
- You get to use your free time in a really valuable and helpful way.
- You'll be giving something to your community and helping older people get where they need to go.
- You get to be part of Age UK North Craven's volunteer team.
What is expected of me?
The suggested time commitment is 2-4 hrs a couple of hours on a regular or occasional basis, this is really flexible and we will work around your availability and the appointments we are trying to cover; your availability can be discussed with our Transport Manager. Some of our volunteers prefer local runs, whereas others are happy to venture further for example to the hospitals at Airdale or Leeds.
