Huntingdonshire Volunteer Centre continues to run throughout the pandemic, thanks to our wonderful team of volunteer drivers and administrators. We endeavour to offer more than a Taxi Service, providing a reliable and friendly scheme. Our volunteers go out of their way to help our clients feel comfortable, right from booking the journey, to the drive itself. We also have Covid secure precautions in place to help our clients and volunteers feel safe. The car scheme works by matching passengers with volunteer drivers who use their own cars to take them to hospital appointments, shopping and various destinations. Please note, that due to the pandemic medical journeys will be acted upon first. Passengers pay the drivers 40p a mile based on the driver’s mileage, to cover the driver’s expenses, plus a £1 booking fee to cover administration costs. Here is what a client said about a scheme: “The Car Scheme is brilliant, a life saver and I feel safer than travelling in ambulances or taxis. The drivers are wonderful” Mrs Geraldine Smith – St Neots We have volunteer centres based in St Neots ( 01480 476047) Huntingdon (01480 414766) St Ives and Ramsay (01480 301462) please phone to make a booking or for more information. We are currently looking for volunteer drivers, so if you’re patient, reliable, have a ‘full drivers license’ and want to make a difference in the community please contact us for a chat.
