Get Where You Need to Go

Our transport services provide safe, reliable, door-to-door assistance for medical appointments, social outings, shopping, and community activities — with support before, during, and after your journey from trained support workers, including wheelchair-accessible options.

Transport is an Independence service under the Support at Home Programme. Your participant contribution is means-tested — from 5% for full pensioners up to 50% for self-funded retirees, with part-pensioners on a sliding scale between — and we can provide a personalised estimate for your circumstances.
