What is a Voluntary Social Car Scheme?

The Voluntary Social Car Scheme is funded by Cumbria County Council.The scheme provides transport to members of the community of any age(under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult) who cannot make theirjourney by public or private transport.

Examples of journeys include getting to doctors and dentist appointments, shopping, making public transport connections and visiting friends.

Passengers pay a contribution towards the cost of the transport. If 2 or more people travel then the fare is shared between them.

Journeys are available depending on volunteers availability. You may be asked to share transport and you may need to be flexible about the times you travel.

Voluntary Social Car Scheme Locations

When booking transport with your local Coordinator, please give as much notice as possible to allow time to find an available volunteer driver.

Please note that if you require assistance accessing a vehicle you would need to supply your own escort.

Should there be no car scheme in your area or with no availability for your journey, we may be able to offer Rural Wheels. For more information please visit cumbria.gov.uk/ruralwheels

As Voluntary Social Car Schemes and Rural Wheels are not scheduled bus services, passengers are unable to use their concessionary NoWcards.
