Bakewell & Eyam Community Transport is launching a new legacy programme that will enable people to support the local charity in its work for years to come.
Now over 20 years old, the not-for-profit organisation based at Great Longstone continues to help local residents and community groups throughout the Peak District with safe, caring and reliable transport. It offers particular assistance for people who are disadvantaged by age, disability or rural isolation, as well as providing affordable minibus transport for dozens of community groups and local schools. BECT’s fleet of 11 fully accessible minibuses, plus a large volunteer-run community car scheme, provides everyday transport for shopping, medical appointments and social visits. The organisation also supplies specialist educational and social care transport under contract to Derbyshire County Council. The new programme sets out the steps you need to take in order to leave BECT a gift in your will, as well as showing what your money will go towards and the positive difference the organisation makes – and wants to continue to make – in our local communities. Members of BECT staff and trustees will be available to confidentially discuss the wider issues and answer any general questions about our organisation. To find out more about BECT’s new legacy scheme please call 01629 641920 or email info@bect.org.uk to request a leaflet or book an appointment to speak to someone.
