We help people who have a transport need either people elderly, disabled or even living in a rural location. Our aim is to reach the most isolated people within the community remove barriers and to take them to their medical appointments, clubs, shopping, visiting. We also provide other services such as Group Hire for youth groups, care/ nursing homes, WI, and other community groups within the area. We also provide day trips for our door-to-door members. For many of these people it is their only opportunity to visit outside of Bristol. Many who are wheelchair user and for them their is not alternative. We also provide Midas Driver Awareness Training not only to our own staff and volunteers but to groups and local authorities. It generates income to allow us to help improve and expand the service.
