We very much need more volunteers to help us manage our busy schedules. We currently have 4 fulltime drivers but we have 7 minibusesb so we rely very much on volunteer drivers to help keep our costs under control. So can you spare a half or one day a week or once every 2 weeks? If so please get in touch with us.
The work is most fulfilling and requires drivers to assist passengers who have some form of disability which prevents them from using buses or taxis. The trips are varied, shopping trips, doctors or hospital appointments and we offer a low cost single fare from any location to anywhere within the wider Cambridge area.
Volunteers will be trained by us on how to handle a minibus and deal with disabled passengers. We give free training for you to obtain the nationally accredited MiDAS standard of minibus driving in association with ROSPA ( Royal Societry of Prevention of Accidents). It would also be helpful if you had a D1 on your driving licence- you would have got this automatically before 1997. We will also enroll you in the DBS, Disclosure and Barring Service, as you will be in contact with vulnerable people. This is adminstered through the Cambridge and Peterborough Combined Authority.
If you are interested or have further questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.
