🚌 A huge thank you to our Bus Buddy volunteer Linda. Thank you for your time, compassion and commitment. The difference you make is truly valued.

For some people, joining a trip or travelling somewhere unfamiliar can feel daunting. So we started looking for companions to provide a friendly face, reassurance and a helping hand, making it easier for people to get out, build confidence and enjoy social activities.

🚗 It is Volunteer Week! 🚗 A huge thank you to our Community Car Scheme drivers. We simply couldn't provide this vital service without you.

Every week, our volunteer drivers give their time to help people across West Devon get to medical appointments, attend social activities, go shopping and stay connected to their communities.

Whether it's an early morning hospital appointment or a regular trip to see friends, your kindness, patience and dedication make a real difference to the people we support.

Our volunteers also help in other ways, including helping at events such as our coffee mornings.

Thank you!
