Our most-used service. We collect you from your front door and take you where you need to go — the surgery, the shops, a friend's house — then bring you home again. Drivers help with steps, seatbelts and shopping bags.
Book at least 48 hours ahead where possible.
Appointments at Southmead, Thornbury Hospital, dental and optician visits and clinic follow-ups. Let us know if you need the driver to wait or to help you into reception.
Escorts travel free of charge when needed for support.
Regular weekly runs to local supermarkets and town centres. A sociable trip with the same familiar faces, plus time to browse before the return journey.
Ask the office for the timetable in your village.
