From 14-18 October 2024, communities across the UK will celebrate CTWeek24, highlighting the vital work of the Community Transport sector. Inspired by our Manifesto, this year’s theme, Celebrating Community Solutions, spotlights the impact of accessible, inclusive, and affordable transport in strengthening community bonds.
In this session you will get peer to peer support, insight from professionals, a place to share your concerns or experiences whether they are positive or negative and just be a part of something that will lead us to providing the best experience for all.
Join us online during this CT Week 24 special to hear directly from CT organisations about what they’ve learned about partnership working with other operators, the challenges that need to be considered and the added value that collaboration brings.
There’s a wealth of expertise within your organisations so how can we work together to grow mentoring, consultancy and peer support opportunities within the CT sector?
In today’s challenging financial climate, it can be increasingly difficult to manage your income streams and ensure your services are sustainable, so we’ve highlighted here some sources of additional funding and support that we think are worth exploring.
The Mapping Wales survey is now closed, and we are currently analysing the data.
More than 50% of our ‘primary purpose’ members in Wales helped us with our research, giving a really important snapshot of the Welsh Community Transport sector. Thank you to everyone who took part in or promoted the survey; your help is greatly appreciated. The results will be posted on this page once the analysis and reporting are complete. Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions or would like to discuss this further.
The Community Transport Association provides the UK’s only specialist advice and support service to groups and organisations delivering community-led transport in the UK. We do this by directly providing support and information on a wide range of topics, such as permits and licencing regulations, driver training, and operations, and by connecting with and signposting to other relevant agencies.
Community Transport puts the community at the heart of all it does, taking a ground-up approach to developing demand-responsive, accessible transport solutions that work for everyone. Services offer so much more than just a journey, empowering people by opening up opportunities for those who would otherwise be excluded.
We believe in volunteering for all, but we know times are tough for volunteers.
The cost-of-living crisis is having a major impact on recruitment and retention of unpaid drivers, with many people no longer able to afford to be part of helping to deliver the amazing work of Community Transport due to soaring motoring costs.
This’s why CTA has been leading a campaign calling for the UK Government to conduct an urgent, fair and transparent review of the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP), which delivers a fully funded uplift.
On a very rare hot day I drove across the Welsh mountains to visit one of our smallest operators in the town of Pwllheli, on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales.
I was going to see Marel Roberts who is one of the founders of Cymrod Clwb Teithio Dwyfor. Cymrod stands for ‘Caring for your Mobility, Rights and Opportunities in Dwyfor’. It was part of a larger group formed 30 years ago across Gwynedd and Anglesey, but Cymrod is the only one in existence today with a dedicated committee of seven people to oversee the club.
