Activities

  • Driving

Poor public transport links and cuts in hospital transport mean that many, mainly older, people have great difficulty travelling to and from their medical appointments. Dorking Good Neighbours fills this gap with our friendly team of volunteers.  This is very rewarding work which is much appreciated by our passengers.

Drivers can choose how often they drive - usually once a week. There is no obligation to be available at any special time.

Drivers would need to reside within the Dorking area to be able to access local clients.

Petrol and parking expenses are reimbursed.


What skills do I need?

Dorking area resident with own car.
A good, reliable and careful driver who is patient and understanding.
