If you need help getting to important appointments or services, Volunteer Cornwall’s team of vetted and trained drivers may be able to help. We have around 200 drivers across the county who are happy to take people to appointments at GP surgeries, hospitals and other events if you cannot drive and public transport won’t work for you. Generally we need 48 hours’ notice; as our drivers are all volunteers there may be times when we struggle to accommodate your request. Our team will always be honest about whether we think we will be able to help and let you know as soon as we can if we run into any problems. Just call the team at our office on 01872 265 300 to discuss your needs.
How much does it cost?
Our volunteers’ mileage is repaid at 42p per mile (remember that this is their full mileage not just the mileage whilst you’re in the car) and we do also ask for a small contribution towards the administration costs of the scheme.
