Overview
8.30am to 4.30pm weekdays
The Your CVS Community Transport Scheme covers Gedling, Newark & Sherwood and Rushcliffe districts.
The scheme provides safe, affordable and reliable journeys to people who find it difficult to use public transport or taxis, who don’t drive and don’t have access to a car.
Our volunteers are police checked and use their own cars to help people get out and about, for example, to the shops, doctors, dentists, hairdressers, social activities, visit friends and take part in their communities.

Referral
To use the scheme you must be unable to make your journey using public transport, or any other means of transport. Reasons for eligibility might include geographical remoteness, disability or ill health.
You need to be able to get in and out of a car unaided, or bring a helper (an escort) who can help you to do this. Drivers can only offer an arm to lean on as they are not trained or insured to lift passengers.
Drivers can take light foldable wheelchairs by prior arrangement. Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
