Would you like to become a volunteer for Bakewell and Eyam Community Transport (BECT)?
BECT provides accessible transport for rural communities across Derbyshire Dales and the Peak District. Last year 3264 passenger car journeys were provided for people living in local communities. Volunteers help individuals who struggle to use conventional transport, perhaps disadvantaged because of age or disability or simply because no local scheduled services exist.
All you need to help is a little spare time, access to a car and have held a full driving licence for at least two years. There is no need to make a regular commitment, you can help with as little as one journey per month or as much as five per week; the choice is yours and is totally flexible.
The rewards of volunteering for the community car scheme are many and include the chance to give something back to your community and help people live more independent lives, the opportunity to make new friends and participate in social events, and the chance to learn new skills.
We need more volunteer car drivers to help us to continue to provide this much valued service.
