Volunteer Car Service
"We aim to connect people, reduce isolation, relieve loneliness and improve quality of life"
The Volunteer Car Service is a Kirklees wide service for people who struggle with conventional forms of transport for different reasons. We find a volunteer and you pay their expenses - it really is that simple. We urge those who can to use existing forms of transport like buses and taxis, however we know that some just cannot use these forms of transport.
Our service is caring and understanding of passenger needs. Although we work closely with people with disabilities, our luggage limit and manual handling means that we refer wheelchair users to appropriate vehicles in our community transport accessible vehicle fleet.
We take people to destinations like shops, clubs, friends, plus appointments like to see a GP, visit hospital, and even hair-dressers.
During Coronavirus, we have additional control of risks associated with transport, in place.
We prefer to talk to people, to better understand their transport needs, and make a booking once they have registered as a member. Here are the steps:
1. Register
2. Book
3. Pay when we confirm driver
4. Driver will pick you up
We register volunteer car drivers, and within the registration will complete safeguard checks plus checks you would expect to control risks for a driver. Expect a request to check driving license, insurance, MoT, DBS, and two references.
Registration via www.ddc.org.uk/volunteer

We welcome caring people who are careful drivers who have their own car
