Royal Voluntary Service urgently needs volunteer drivers for its Ceredigion Country Cars service.

Royal Voluntary Service’ Community Transport service supports local people who are without transport and who need to make an essential journey. This could be to visit friends or family, attend medical appointments, access shopping or go to social groups.

Driving and using public transport can be challenging for people with health conditions or restricted mobility. Being able to get from A to B, however, is crucial for maintaining a healthy, happy, active and enjoyable lifestyle.

Which is why our volunteers offer Community Transport services that help people get to where they need to go. It’s more than just transportation. It’s offering them a lifeline. Giving people the support they need to stay, safe, well and connected to their communities.

Volunteers, using their own or specially-adapted vehicles, take clients to and from social visits, shopping trips, activities and appointments - expenses are paid. The service means that people don’t have to feel reliant on family or friends whenever they want to go out, helping them to stay independent, active and social.

They know they can count on us to deliver a driver when they need one and what’s more, it will be a driver they can get to know and trust, so they have a little company while they’re on their journey too. They undergo the proper checks and carry ID so you can be sure they’re genuine and trustworthy.
