We need your driving skills please!

by Options for Life

As a Volunteer Driver, you’ll help transport people with profound and multiple learning disabilities to a variety of destinations, in our minibus, including social activities, day trips, hospital appointments and more. Your time and kindness will help enrich lives, giving those we support greater independence and opportunities to thrive. The role is flexible, and you’ll find it just as fulfilling as the people you support.
We will reimburse travel expenses to and from your volunteering and any journeys while in the course of activities with us.
We offer a meal allowance if you volunteer for 4 hours or more over a mealtime.
