Must have own car and full UK driving licence with minimal penalty points. Must also be willing to undertake a DBS check (police check) and provide 2 character references. Patience and empathy would be useful qualities.
Our clients are mainly elderly, disabled and or socially isolated members of the community, and are immensely grateful that our scheme exists. Volunteer drivers provide a valuable lifeline, and an element of befriending for our members. There is an immense feeling of satisfaction knowing you have helped someone in this situation, and can also help to combat any loneliness the volunteer may have experienced.
