Supporting Safer Journeys: Coalfield Community Transport’s experience with CTA’s Insurance Partners

Coalfield Community Transport, an independent charity in East Ayrshire, has grown from a small volunteer-led initiative to operating a fleet of 22 vehicles serving local residents. But in recent years, soaring insurance costs and poor service from brokers became a major challenge. 

 

“Insurance costs were a major shock,” explained Susan Dever, who manages transport and health and safety. “We went from paying around £20,000 to nearly £40,000, even without major incidents.” 

 

Show and Tell with LEAP Car Club

Our ‘Show and Tell’ events is a dedicated space for CTA members to share insights and inspiration from their Community Transport journey with the rest of the movement.

Next up in the series, we’re delighted to showcase Local Energy Action Plan (LEAP), which works across Renfrewshire to advance environmental protection, sustainability education and community participation. In 2012, they established a community-owned car club back to meet local transport needs, reduce car ownership and cut car costs for users.
