Volunteer Transport Service

VASA’s Volunteer Transport Service takes patients who are without their own transport to medical appointments at hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and day centres both across the District and County, and outside.

The door-to-door service is essential to vulnerable people who otherwise would at best struggle to keep health care appointments, at worst not get to them at all.

The service is available to anyone who has a genuine need for transport. We usually require three day’s notice prior to journey and for the volunteer driver’s costs to be paid at the currently approved rate of 45p per mile.

If you would like to offer your services as a volunteer driver, we have opportunities in all areas of the Stratford on Avon District including Alcester, Shipston, Southam and surrounding villages, either on a regular or an occasional basis, depending upon how much time you have to give.

You will receive a mileage allowance of 45p a mile for authorised journeys. Your car will need to have a current insurance and, where applicable, MOT certificate.

If you have some time to spare, own a car, have patience and understanding and are willing to help others who would appreciate your support, please let call Clarissa Roberts on 01789 262886 or email (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Guidance is available from the Inland Revenue for volunteer drivers who offer their services for an organised volunteer car scheme.
