Volunteer Driving, put your foot down to help local people!

Driving Opportunities

• Use your own car to provide personal door to door transport for someone who may be disabled, older or frail, a young person from school to foster home and transport to hospital and after school clubs
• Take people in mini buses to day centres, lunch clubs and on group outings

All it takes

• A heart of gold
• Patience
• Goodwill
• An hour or two once in a while – or more often if you wish

All you need

• A clean driving licence
• A telephone so we can contact you

If you are using your own car you will also need:

• To check with your insurance company that it is in order for you to carry passengers for a voluntary organisation
• An up-to-date MOT certificate

What we can give you

• If you are using your own car you charge mileage at 45p per mile and this can help with the running costs for your vehicle
• All out of pocket expenses
• The chance to meet people
• The opportunity of helping in your community and a sense of achievement
• MiDAS training, a Hampshire County Council qualification as a mini bus driver
• Choice – the type of driving and when it is convenient for you

Who you can help
Here are just some of the many local individuals & organisations you will be supporting:

• Age Concern
• Gosport Family Centre
• Gosport Volunteer Centre
• Multiple Sclerosis Society
• Gosport Stroke Club
• Many Carers Groups
• Hundreds of local people

If you would like to know more or to arrange an informal chat, with absolutely no commitment, please contact us as we need your help and we look forward to hearing from you very soon.
