This year I have had the pleasure of working with Lynsey Hargreaves at the West Glamorgan Regional Partnership who has been working with people with lived experience of learning disabilities around their issues with transport.
Volunteer recruitment was the talking point at our latest Working Well session and Melissa Townsend from Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations, encouraged us to demonstrate to volunteers how central they are.

Trustees' Week takes place on 4th - 9th November 2024 and is a brilliant opportunity to thank, celebrate and highlight the role of charity trustees. Tasked with offering guidance, support and governance, trustees play a vital role helping Community Transport to thrive.
From Monday 4th – Friday 8th November 2024, the CTA social media platforms will highlight Community Transport trustees across the UK and say thank you for the dedication, commitment and expertise they offer to help use thrive.
The focus for this months session is: CTWeek24 Impact & Highlights
Following another successful edition of Community Transport Week, join us at our next Community Building Session to continue the celebrations of the wonderful CT sector!
Come along to hear from CTA's CT Week Lead and Director for Scotland, David Kelly, as he reflects on some of the highlights of CT Week, the impact of messaging throughout the week, and the events across the UK that made CT Week 2024 so special.
“It’s been a really interesting process over the past three years. The only way I can describe it is that it’s like a relationship – we started out as friends, then we dated for a while, and now we’re official!”
Listening to Elenid Roberts describe how an informal partnership of CT operators in north Gwynedd developed was both informative and entertaining. Our Working Well sessions create space for operators to share experiences and learn from each other.
Elderly and vulnerable passengers that benefit from on-demand bus and taxi services met with Local Transport Minister, Simon Lightwood, in West London today (17 October 2024) to mark Community Transport Week 2024.

As part of Community Transport Week’s ‘Accelerating Community-Led Climate Action’ day, I had the pleasure of visiting one of our inspiring members, Climate Action Strathaven (CAS). It was a fantastic morning spent geeking out on climate action, and I couldn’t be more impressed by what I saw.
Community Transport is empowering people and communities all over the UK to take climate action every single day – I know because I see it in my own neighbourhood and I’m one of them!
The Southside of Glasgow is a veritable hotbed of climate-friendly community solutions.
