Volunteer Car Schemes England: Online Focus Group 2

Join the Community Transport Association for an interactive online workshop exploring our Deep Dive research project: Driving Sustainability – Evaluating and Future-Proofing Volunteer Car Schemes

Volunteer car schemes are a vital yet often under-recognised part of community transport. While many operate informally and with limited visibility, they provide essential services across England. This research project takes a closer look at how these schemes function, with a focus on their long-term sustainability and future development.

In this online session, we’ll explore:

• How volunteer car schemes are currently operating, showcasing a range of delivery models
• Common challenges faced by schemes and their coordinators
• Opportunities to enhance long-term sustainability

Your insights will help shape the practical tools and guidance CTA is developing to support the integration of volunteer car schemes into local transport networks.
