Chester Community Car Scheme

This service provides a lifeline for elderly, frail or disabled people who don’t have a car and have difficulty accessing public transport.

The scheme which operates in the Chester area has over 30 volunteer drivers and more than 200 elderly passengers that do not have access to public transport either due to a lack of provision in their area, poor mobility or disability, being housebound and/or vulnerable. The service provides a lifeline for many vulnerable elderly people that would otherwise be very isolated. Journeys range from trips to the shops to visiting friends and relatives, or any journey except those carried out by the Ambulance or Social Services.

With over 40,000 passenger miles per year from local journeys, we at CCA and our volunteer drivers are regularly reminded by passengers of how important the service is to them.

If you are:

• Interested in becoming a volunteer driver;
• Interested in registering to become a passenger, or
• Know someone who would really benefit from this service,
