Car Drivers
Our most urgent need is for people to drive our wheelchair-accessible cars, which are based around Pembrokeshire. Most drivers commit to a regular day each week or fortnight. Training will be provided.
We also need drivers who are willing to use their own cars. All you need is a car with relevant insurance, a standard driving licence, some spare time and a desire to help. Your mileage will be reimbursed at a rate of 45p per mile. We are working closely with three local schemes who need volunteer car drivers right across Pembrokeshire:
- Royal Voluntary Service, who run the Pembrokeshire Country Cars Service which provides transport for, appointments and other essential journeys and also helps unpaid carers with their transport needs
- Pembrokeshire County Council, whose team of volunteer drivers transport young people to and from school/contact/appointments.
Minibus Drivers
We have both occasional and regular need for people to drive for local community groups. You will be required to take a minibus driver (MiDAS) assessment. We have some small minibuses which can be driven by volunteers on an ordinary car licence (providing you have held a full licence for at least two years and are aged over 21). Minibuses are based in locations across Pembrokeshire.
Royal Voluntary Service Journey Coordinators
Royal Voluntary Service Journey Coordinators take bookings from passengers and match them up with volunteer drivers. Many organisers are also volunteer drivers, but this isn’t essential as this role can be done in the comfort of your own home! Royal Voluntary Service is particularly looking for a new Pembrokeshire Country Cars organiser in the Fishguard area.
For more information about any of these opportunities, please contact us on 01437 701123 or admin@pacto.org.uk. We’d really appreciate your help!
