The Social Car Scheme can enable people to:

Attend medical appointments
Visit a relative or friend
Attend social activities
Go shopping.

Who can use the service?

Anyone who lives in South Derbyshire and is unable to use any other form of transport.

When does it run?

Enquiries and bookings can be made Monday - Friday Mornings (9:00am - 12:00pm) although transport is available seven days a week subject to the availability of drivers.

Where does it operate?

Many trips are around the local area although longer journeys can be arranged.

The scheme is non-profit making although there is a charge made to the client of 40p per mile which is paid to the driver to cover their expenses.
