Community Transport
Befriending Support
Community transport
Affordable and supportive transport
Provisions for those in the community, who do not drive and struggle using conventional buses. Not only is this type of transport essential for many to get to important medically related appointments, but it is also a lifeline for shopping, social interaction and wellbeing to help prevent social isolation and keep our community active, independent and involved.
Northampton Community Transport
We provide two services that support elderly and disabled people who live in the borough of Northampton and Grange Park. Both services have been running for over 25 years and in that time have helped over 1,000 members with nearly 40,000 journeys each year.
Services
