Do you live around the RH8 postcode and have a few hours to spare driving for a 'Good Neighbour' organisation. No fixed time commitment or fundraising. It fits in and around your schedule - you can drive as much or as little as you choose.

LINK is an independent charity founded in 1974 providing assistance to the community within the RH8 postcode. We offer transport to medical appointments for local residents without their own transport. There is no charge for this service but instead LINK relies on donations, from those it helps, to cover operating costs.

Our drivers enjoy meeting different clients and hearing their life stories whilst transporting them get to essential medical care.  It is a very satisfying and hugely appreciated service.

Drivers will be required to complete a DBS check.

What skills do I need?

Reliable and helpful.

Clean driving license. 

Use of own car.

Fully comprehensive car insurance which covers volunteer driving.
