Who do we help?
We aim to help elderly people who genuinely have no alternative transport option.
We take clients to and from appointments in:
-
Hospitals
-
GP surgeries
-
Dental surgeries
-
Chropodists
-
Opticians
Clients submit requests by phone or email (we ideally need at least one week's notice). We are a charity relying on volunteer drivers, so at times of high demand we can't always help with all the requests we receive.
We collect from:
​
-
Charvil
-
Cockpole Green
-
Crazies Hill
-
Hurst
-
Knowl Hill
-
Ruscombe
-
Shurlock Row
-
Sonning
-
Twyford
-
Waltham St Lawrence
-
Wargrave
As a client, you must register with us and have the physical and mental capacity to be responsible for yourself.
If you need a little extra support, we ask you to bring a friend or carer with you, but more involved assistance should be arranged through your GP.
We are unable to provide transport for shopping, social events or to visit relatives in hospitals or care homes.
Further information can be found in the client guidelines.

How to register for transport
​
To register with us, simply print off and complete the registration form (ensuring you sign the declaration).
You can then photograph or scan the form and send it to us by email, or post it to:
Twyford, Wargrave and District Volunteer Drivers
The Lady Elizabeth Centre
Polehampton Close
Twyford
Berkshire
RG10 9RP
​
We need a separate form and declaration for each new client, so even if a husband and wife at the same address would like to sign up for the service, they need to send us individual forms.
​
We aim to acknowledge receipt of your request within approximately 5 days. Once registered you will receive confirmation and be able to book a lift to an appointment (please read the full guidelines).
​
If you have any questions, please email us, or call 0118 934 3010. The office is open from 9.30am to 12 noon, Monday to Friday.
​​
Donations & sponsorship
As a small charity, we rely on donations from clients and sponsorship from local organisations to keep our service going.
We are always very grateful for financial donations - however small.
Please contact us if you can help - send us an email or call 0118 934 3010. The office is open from 9.30am to 12 noon, Monday to Friday.
Become a volunteer driver
No minimum commitment
​
Drivers register with the charity and use their own cars, receiving a contribution towards their expenses. Most of our requests are for return journeys but some clients ask for drop off only.
As a driver, you will receive an email with a list of jobs for the following week. You then volunteer for any trips that fit in with your schedule.
Drivers are not expected to provide physical assistance.
Wokingham Borough Council requires all volunteer drivers to have a DBS check – we can help you with this and we cover the cost.
For an informal chat, please contact us - send us an email or call 0118 934 3010. The office is open from 9.30am to 12 noon, Monday to Friday.
​
