Volunteer Driver (Wheelchair Volunteer - Quedgeley, Gloucester)

If you enjoy driving, like meeting people and are compassionate then this could be the role for you. Volunteers like you provide people in their local community with wheelchairs and other equipment to help them get moving again after an illness or injury. Whether it is to help take a relative out, or take a child to school, it makes a difficult and distressing time a little bit easier. Spread the power of kindness with us and help make sure that everyone who needs one can get a wheelchair.

We would like to hear from applicants who can commit to volunteering a few hours a week, on a Tuesday or Wednesday on a regular basis.

Ideally you will live within roughly 10 miles to the equipment collection point. If you are unsure of the distance please click on the map to check, as a rough guide.
