DOOR- TO-DOOR TRANSPORT

Our community transport service provides door-to-door accessible community transport to members living in North Northumberland. There is no charge for membership but we do ask for a suggested donation for each journey. Operating under a section 19 licence, we are not a taxi service so we also ask that you give us as much notice as possible prior to journeys so that we can coordinate our volunteer drivers.

We currently suggest that this is donation is usually 80 pence per mile, with a minimum charge of £3. However, please talk to us if this donation would mean that you would be excluded from using our transport service.

Trips might include visiting the doctors, friends, opticians, hairdressers, podiatry appointments or transport to and from activities at Bell View.  Prior booking is essential and availability will be dependent upon having volunteers and vehicles present on any specified date and time.

We also have fully accessible mini buses which support luncheon clubs, shopping trips, social and cultural visits.

We are always looking for more volunteers to assist with community transport. Volunteer drivers may utilise our vehicles or choose to drive their own vehicles. Please enquire within to discuss transport needs or volunteering, via telephone on 01668 219220 or email us at reception@bellviewbelford.co.uk
