Oldham Volunteer Drivers Service

Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes

What We Do

Volunteer Drivers use their own vehicles to provide a door-to-door, flexible, transport service. The passenger is picked up from their home and taken to their destination. Return journeys are also available. If requested, and where possible, a driver can wait with the passenger until they are ready to return home.

For each journey, a contribution is calculated at just 45p per mile - payable to the driver on the day, to reimburse the cost of petrol and to support the costs of insuring and maintaining their vehicles.

All Volunteer Drivers are DBS checked, and have all the necessary vehicle safety requirements and insurance in place - so you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands!

The Circle Volunteer Drivers Service is looking for Volunteer

Drivers, with their own vehicles, to provide a transport service

for elderly or vulnerable adults who find it difficult to use public

transport. These passengers may have various health or mobility

problems.

Drivers must have their own vehicles for which they receive 45p

per mile to reimburse you towards the cost of petrol and to

support the insurance and vehicle maintenance.

For each journey, the payable amount is calculated at 45p per

mile - payable to the driver, to reimburse the cost of petrol and to

support the costs of insuring and maintaining their vehicles.

The majority of trips are undertaken between 9am and 5pm and

you can take on as much or as little driving as you wish. This is a

rewarding role promoting Health & Wellbeing and creating new

friendships!

It is an interesting and varied volunteering opportunity where no

two days are ever the same.

A DBS check will be undertaken for this volunteering opportunity.
