ILKLEY COMMUNITY TRANSPORT
Would you like to help your local community and join the friendly team at Ilkley Community Transport? We are a registered charity based in Ilkley and are always looking for CAR DRIVERS to provide lifts primarily to medical appointments for residents in the Ilkley and Addingham area who find public transport difficult to access due to age, illness or disability. Volunteers use their own cars and claim expenses for fuel at a pre-agreed rate. Drivers must be over 21, and have held a full licence for at least 2 years.
If you would like to volunteer, or would like more information, please contact our Transport Co-ordinator on 01943 603348 or emailing info@ilkleycommunitytransport.org.uk
