Can You Help? Arnside Helpways Transport Is Looking For New Drivers
Arnside Helpways Transport is a scheme run by volunteer local drivers, helping those unable to drive to attend medical appointments locally. The areas covered are: Arnside, Milnthorpe, Grange, Carnforth, Kendal, Lancaster and, occasionally, Barrow, Blackpool and Preston. There is a modest, not-for-profit, charge for each journey.
They are always looking for new drivers. If you are interested in joining the group, please contact the Secretary, David Gee at wood.edge@btinternet.com for a short application form. There is no minimum commitment, and you are unlikely to be called upon more than once or twice a month.
N.B. Please do NOT use this address for requesting transport.
