How often do you think you may be available to provide transport?

How far are you prepared to go?

Some drivers may be prepared to take passengers to Stoke Hospital, others may only wish to provided local journeys, to the doctors surgery, library etc. Some drivers may happy to accompany the passenger into the destination and wait with them, other would rather drop them off and wait outside. Some passengers may have carers with them who would accompany them. The short journeys may be just as important to travellers as the longer ones and they could easily improve their quality of life with a trip to the library for example.

What types of journeys would you consider?

When booking transport, the passenger will be advised of the cost to them based on the mileage chart of fees. They will be told that any parking fees will be paid by them. The full fee that the passenger pays will cover your mileage fee and any residue helps to fund the various things that the scheme has to cover, insurance, D.B.S checks etc. Usually the driver will be expected to settle with the scheme treasurer any fees that they have collected during a set period (monthly) at the same time any additional amounts that are due to the driver will then be refunded.

The mileage you will be paid will include ‘light mileage’ without a passenger, from your home to the home of the passenger and return, this should be covered by the fee that the passenger pays.

The scheme is a voluntary project aimed at providing much needed transport to people in our community, you play a vital role in the whole scheme and we are grateful for your support.

If you know of anyone who might be prepared to join us as a driver or anyone who needs transport that might benefit from the scheme do please put us in touch.

The information contained in this form will only be used within the scheme itself and not passed to any third parties. By signing here you are agreeing to this being done.

As each customer requests transport we send the details of the customers requirements to all of our drivers and that is when each driver makes the decision wether or not they are able to help. There is NO commitment until then.
