VINs Volunteer Car Scheme has been nominated in the Community category in this year’s Award.

The scheme provides community transport for elderly and disabled people, living in Northampton (Postcodes NN1 – NN5).

It enables registered members to travel with ease, convenience, and peace of mind, allowing them to maintain their independence for longer and helping to prevent social isolation.

Last year our volunteer drivers took passengers to 10,000 medically related appointments. They averaged 930 voluntary hours of journeys per month.

Russell Rolph states:

 

It’s fantastic that the team have been nominated for this award. Just to be nominated demonstrates the commitment, hard work and skill required in delivering such a project. I would like to personally thank all the team and volunteers that perform this vital work and support our communities.
