Lutterworth Community Transport arrange lifts for people who can’t access other forms of transport to get to appointments. This could be to hospital outpatients, medical centres, opticians or dentists as well as social events. We usually wait for the passenger and bring them home again.
We are looking for people who enjoy driving and want to help other members of their community.
The volunteer will use their own car, and we pay mileage expenses at 45 pence per mile, paid monthly on completion of an expenses sheet. Clients are sent a monthly invoice so there is no requirement for the driver to handle money.
Bookings are taken at our office and are then matched to the most appropriate driver. We usually communicate with you by phone and email.
Most of our passengers travel during the week, but some drivers also make themselves available at weekends.
There is no minimum or maximum commitment, and you are always free to say no to a drive.
We serve Lutterworth and the surrounding villages in Leicestershire, including Broughton Astley so most of our volunteers come from this area. You may be asked to drive to other locations such as hospitals in Leicester and Coventry.
