A journey to the shops, a hospital appointment or a visit to see friends can be something many of us take for granted. But for some residents across Droitwich Spa and the surrounding villages, these everyday journeys would simply not be possible without Droitwich Community Transport.
Today, Droitwich Spa CVS operates two wheelchair-accessible community cars alongside drivers own cars and also a 14-seat minibus, enabling residents to travel safely and comfortably to medical appointments, shopping trips, social clubs, family visits and community activities.
However, those involved with the service say community transport is about far more than simply getting people from one place to another.
Every journey helps tackle loneliness and isolation, giving passengers the confidence to remain active, maintain friendships and continue living independently in their own homes. For many people, a chat with a familiar volunteer driver like Clive (pictured) is just as important as reaching their destination.
Alongside essential transport, the charity also organises popular minibus outings to places of interest across the county. These trips provide opportunities for people to enjoy a day out and meet new friends.
