Services

Below is a short description of what we do. For further information please contact the office between 10am to 1pm Monday-Friday at: 01332 863585

We do charge for minibus trips and car transport services just cover our costs. We are not a profit-making operation but since we receive not a penny of funding for our core costs, we do need the odd pound to keep going.

What we offer:

We run a 16 seater minibus which has a wheelchair lift. There is a free weekly service from your home to the Co-op at Castle Donington, which gives people who need a helping hand, the independence to do their own shopping. This service covers Melbourne of course but also Ticknall, Stanton, Wilson and points in between. To book a place please call the office.

We also organise regular day trips for shopping and to places of interest. Previous trips have included visits to Bakewell on Market Day, Solihull Touchwood Shopping Centre, Stratford on Avon, and various garden centres. We put a notice of future trips in our window on Derby Road and on Facebook.

What we offer:

If you need to go to Derby for a hospital appointment or to the GP Surgery in Melbourne or Chellaston, or even to your favourite hairdresser, give us a call. We have a team of volunteer car drivers who offer their time to take you there
and bring you back. They use their own cars, know the best routes, where to park and are very helpful.

There is a charge to cover their costs but it is less than a taxi and much more convenient than hospital transport.
