Our criteria for eligibility is simple: clients
must reside in the
Windsor (SL4) area and suffer a level of impaired
mobility that makes it difficult for them to use taxis or
public transport. THIS IS THE SOLE CRITERIA - AGE AND/ OR FINANCIAL MEANS ARE NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. However, we CANNOT register people who have potential life-threatening medical conditions that might put them at risk whilst being transported as our drivers are not equipped for medical emergencies.
Clients MUST be able to get in and out of a car unaided. If unable to do so, they must be accompanied by someone who can assist them. It is NOT the responsibility of
the driver to physically assist or lift clients at
any point in the journey.
Important: Our Volunteer Drivers will always be polite and courteous. Clients who are rude, disrespectful or hostile towards our Drivers and staff, or who do not appreciate our efforts to help them, will be summarily removed from the Client Register.
Registration: To register, call our office - see our number and operating hours are on the Contact page. Our Administrator will ask you a few basic questions and arrange for our Chairman to visit you to assess your eligability. Your acceptance as a client will be based solely on your degree of mobility impairment. If you qualify, our Chairman will explain the service in detail and give you a Welcome Letter. You will be asked to sign a form stating that you understand the way our service operates and that you do not have any medical conditions that may put you or the driver at risk whilst in our care. Once registered you can commence using our service.
A folding wheel chair
can be provided by the driver if required. Clients
may find this useful if they have to walk any
distance at their journey destination.
Regrettably, we can't
take people who are totally wheel-chair bound.
