Could you spare some time to offer transport to a person in need?
Bedwyns’ Link Scheme is always looking for people to support our service as a volunteer. Volunteering is a great way to stay active, meet new people and help vulnerable and isolated residents in your community. Volunteering roles include drivers, coordinators and committee members.
We can offer you training, an induction and guidance to support you in your volunteer role. We will also reimburse volunteer drivers for mileage and out-of-pocket expenses incurred through their role as a volunteer. Please note that all prospective volunteers will need to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before their appointment is confirmed.
Please call us on 07717 006787 between 9am and 1pm Monday to Friday to volunteer or find out more.
Volunteer roles
Volunteer drivers
Volunteer Drivers collect clients from their home and take them to medical appointments, social visits and other essential trips. A mileage allowance and out of pocket expenses are paid to Volunteer Drivers.
Link Coordinators
Link Coordinators are responsible for answering calls from clients and liaising with our team of Volunteer Drivers. Link Coordinators may need to prioritise requests for help with transport, depending on volunteer numbers.
Committee members
There are a variety of ways volunteers can be involved with helping to organise and oversee our service, supporting volunteers and maintaining links with other community and volunteer organisations locally.
