WHEELCHAIR VEHICLE M P V

TRANSPORT FOR THE HOUSEBOUND

Community First is helping housebound people to get out and about by loaning them a wheelchair accessible vehicle at charitable rates.

The charity is running the multi-purpose vehicle (M.P.V.) on behalf of Wiltshire County Council, and the vehicle has already helped a number of people who would otherwise be stuck at home.

The M.P.V. can be driven using an ordinary car licence and it can carry up to four passengers plus one wheelchair which can be wheeled straight into the vehicle.

It is available to hire at £20 per day plus 10p per mile.

The vehicle is also occasionally available for self-drive hire to groups and individuals without a wheelchair. For more information, please contact Liam Tatton-Bennett at Community First on (01380) 722475 ext. 243 or by e-mail ltatton-bennett@communityfirst.org.uk
