Burtonwood & Winwick Community Bus (360G-CheshireCF-A572174)
Providing transport and other support for residents in Burtonwood & Winwick. COVID is not yet over and we are still busy collecting and delivering prescriptions and picking up shopping for residents who cannot leave home. We have continued to transport people to medical appointments and to work throughout the crisis and as guidance has changed, are now providing non-essential journeys. Although there are branch surgeries in Burtonwood, they have very limited opening hours. The main surgeries are in Earlestown. The frequency of the bus service to Earlestown has been reduced to 2 hourly meaning that our service is needed more than ever. We also take people to day centres, which allows respite for carers.

| Recipient Org: Description | We provide community transport for people in Burtonwood & Winwick, taking people to medical appointments, shopping and work. We also now deliver prescriptions for our local community pharmacy and get shopping for people unable to leave home. We also make wellbeing calls to members to chat and make sure they are ok. During COVID we have been working flat out to support the local community. Throughout we have continued to carry passengers for emergency appointments and have transported key workers to work. People are starting to use our bus more for shopping as the strict guidelines are gradually lifted. |
