Reflecting on Trustees Week: Exploring Growth in Community Transport

Trustees Week last month gave us a chance to reflect on the important role of a Trustee in Community Transport. When listening to stories from Trustees in the sector it becomes increasingly clear that is not just a role; it's a journey rich in opportunities and personal growth. For our members at the Community Transport Association (CTA), understanding these benefits is crucial, especially for those at the helm of CT organisations.

What is Community Transport?

What is community transport?

Every year, in all parts of the UK, millions of people are supported by thousands of community transport staff and volunteers to stay independent, participate in their communities and access vital public services and employment.

Community transport is not just about moving people from point A to point B. It is about fostering a sense of belonging, bridging divides, and empowering individuals to access education, employment, healthcare, and social opportunities that are the bedrock of a thriving community.

Women in Community Transport

Through the launch of the Women in Community Transport UK Network, CTA will be aiming to address the challenges women face in our vital industry, while promoting their invaluable contributions and driving initiatives to improve recruitment, retention, and empowerment.
