🎥 Our launch video is here!

Take a look at the wonderful moments from the launch of our new wheelchair‑accessible vehicle at the Ardington community pop‑up café at Loyd Lindsay Rooms 💙

This short film captures the excitement of the day — including interviews with volunteers, community members, and those sharing what this new service will mean for people across the Vale.

🚐 This wheelchair‑accessible vehicle will help more local residents get to medical appointments and social activities safely, comfortably, and with independence.

💙 A huge thank you to Motability Foundation, whose generous grant made this vehicle possible. Their support is making a real difference in our community.

🎥 And a very special thank you to Lee Thomas Lighting Cameraman for filming the event so brilliantly. 👉 https://www.facebook.com/LeeThomasCameraman
