Newbury and Thatcham Handybus helps people who are unable to use public transport to get out on shopping trips and social outings of all kinds. It also runs regular daily, weekly and fortnightly shopping trips.
The fleet of four minibuses are driven by volunteers who are willing to give up some of their spare time, either regularly, or on an ad hoc basis, to contribute to those in the Newbury community who may be less mobile.
New volunteer drivers are always welcomed to join the team. Our drivers come from all walks of life and enjoy getting out and about doing a really worthwhile job.
The Volunteer Centre is in Broadway House at the Clocktower end of Northbrook Street.
What skills do I need?
Volunteers must be 25+, have two years driving experience - and be prepared to undergo a short assessment (which we will arrange).
Ideal if you have empathy and understanding of the needs of the elderly and disabled - as well as good humour, patience and a friendly nature. You will need to be physically fit.
