Community Transport

Community transport has a major role to play covering a very wide range of needs from access to hospital from disadvantaged areas to ensuring that our communities can participate in health and wellbeing activities at an affordable cost.

To meet such needs, our community transport provision has grown significantly in recent years and has achieved successes in capacity building within communities and meeting transport needs that are not covered by other provision.

Community transport can mitigate the cost of loneliness and isolation through providing older people and individuals with additional support needs with access to health and other services, and to social opportunities.
