Kent Coast Volunteering Folkestone & Hythe Hub Community Transport Service

The Community Transport Service is a door to door transport service for those that would otherwise struggle to get to medical appointments or become isolated within their own homes. All our drivers are volunteers, using their own cars, who are DBS checked, and referenced. They pick you up from your home and take you back there after the appointment (drivers will wait for you for up to an hour or 2 hours for hospital appointments). If your visit is going to be longer than an hour, you can still get a lift home, but this may involve a second driver and therefore will cost more. The only criteria in assessing potential users, are that they have to be able to manoeuvre themselves into and out of the vehicle. We are currently unable to assist those who are wheelchair-bound. Most of the cars used can take folding wheelchairs and Zimmer frames and will also take passengers at no extra charge – all we ask is that you notify us at the time of booking, thus enabling us to ensure the car provided is suitable.
