It’s all in the name, our “volunteer drivers” give up their free time to help others not only are they considerate, caring and compassionate they are proficient, professional. In addition to the (MiDAS) training, our drivers all receive awareness training in all aspects of the caring skills required to assist our passengers such as the visually impaired, our rollator users with reduced mobility and those with hearing difficulties. Our drivers get out of their vehicles to collect from the door, by doing this they make sure that anyone requiring assistance receives it without delay; the drop-off is in reverse the drivers make sure that their passengers are safely transported to where they wish to go. As a community, we are more and more dependant on our volunteer sector for the services we used to take for granted.
