Community Car Scheme

If you live in the Borough of Ashford, don’t have access to a car, and find public transport
difficult, our community transport scheme may be able to help. We provide transport to
medical and other essential appointments.

For more information please contact the Ashford Volunteer Centre (details below)

Who Can Use the Service?
• Adults living in the Borough of Ashford
• Those who can get in and out of a car with minimal help

Some drivers can carry walking aids, including folding wheelchairs, but we cannot
transport passengers who are permanently in a wheelchair due to vehicle limitations.
Drivers cannot provide physical assistance.
