Classic Dial A Ride
We have a small but dedicated group of voluntary car drivers who use their own vehicles to take people to their medical appointments.
They will take you to your doctor’s surgery, Gloucester Royal, Cheltenham General or further afield. They help you navigate the hospital corridors and make sure you find the correct department. Then they will wait to take you home. We do not charge for waiting.
What a fabulous bunch of people
There is a small mileage charge to cover their expenses and you do need to be a member of Dial a Ride. If you would like to use this service or become a volunteer driver call us on 01594 843809.
The volunteer car service is available for medical appointments and visiting relatives, both within and outside of the county. We have a number of cars available, charged on a per mile basis. Our current voluntary drivers charge 50p per mile.
Shopping
If you struggle with shopping our volunteer drivers will take you to the supermarket, wait for you until you are finished, load your shopping into their car, take you home and carry your shopping inside.
