Volunteer Driver

Happy Wanderers - charity no: 235857 

We support older and disabled people to get "out and about" using our two wheelchair adapted mini-buses. We need volunteer drivers who share our passion about supporting older people get out of their homes. Drivers are responsible for the safe transporting of our "friends" some of whom are wheelchair users. We are a small, totally volunteer led, "not for hire or reward" charity.

Volunteer Minibus Driver

We are looking for volunteers to drive Preston CT’s accessible minibuses taking groups and individuals on day trips out. These trips may be organized by Preston CT to destinations in the North West such as; Boundary Mill, Kendal, Chester, Bury Market, Blackpool Illuminations and the Manchester Christmas Markets. Otherwise a local voluntary, community and faith sector organisation may need to transport their service users to activities or social events such as; lunch clubs, health and well-being activities, school trips etc. and use our vehicles and volunteer drivers to keep costs down.

What the enhanced partnership review is and what it means for Community Transport

The Department for Transport (DfT) has published its review of Enhanced Partnerships (EP’s), sharing a detailed look at how they are working across England and where improvements are needed. CTA contributed directly to this process by responding to the survey and attending one of the national roundtable events. Our insights, alongside those shared by operators, local authorities and partners helped shape the finding and next steps set out in the review.
