COMMUNITY
FIRST WHEELCHAIR 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.
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
Bradford-on-Avon
Thursday Club provides a voluntary car scheme for older people
who wish to attend the club but are unable to use other methods
of transport.
