Out and About
What is Out and About?
This unique door-to-door minibus service offers people who would normally be stuck at home alone the chance to get 'out and about' and make new friends.
Where do we go?
​Some of the places we've visited include:
​
-
Batsford Falconry Centre
-
Pershore shopping trip
-
Tewkesbury shopping trip
-
Garden Centre and a pub lunch - very popular!
-
Dymock Daffodil Trail
-
Trips to hear local choirs singing
-
Slimbridge Wetland Centre
​
If there is somewhere you would like to go let us know - if we can, we will make it happen!
Our trips run on Mondays and Thursdays and to help cover our costs a small fare is charged. A reduced fare is applied with a valid bus pass.
Who is eligible?
This service is available to anyone aged 60+ unable to travel independently, or anyone facing mobility or health challenges. A volunteer passenger escort can be arranged if you need company or just an arm to assist you.
You must also live within the following parishes: Barnards Green, Great Malvern, Guarlford, Madresfield, Malvern Link, Malvern Wells, Newland, Poolbrook, Powick and Upton upon Severn.
​
This is a very popular service, so to enable everyone to take part we run a rota system. Please contact Aileen to register your interest.
Is there wheelchair access?
The minibus is wheelchair accessible and we can provide a friendly volunteer to help you get about if you need one. Booking in advance required.
Fancy joining our Out and About team?
We would not be able to run our Out and About service without our amazing volunteers.
We are always looking for volunteer minibus drivers and companions to join our fun-loving Out and About team.
Please call Sam our Volunteer Manager on 01684 892381 for more details.
