Gnosall & District Voluntary Car Scheme
The scheme has now been in operation for 25 years, with support from Staffordshire County Council and Gnosall United Charities and covers the wider community surrounding Gnosall. Over the last 12 months volunteer drivers have covered 5649 miles, taking clients mainly to hospitals and surgeries from Gnosall, Ranton, Adbaston, Woodseaves, Haughton, Bradley and Derrington.
Due to increased demand for our services we URGENTLY need to recruit more voluntary drivers for the scheme to transport members of our community to medical appointments in Cannock, Stafford, Stoke, Telford & Wolverhampton, plus local visits for shopping etc. A driver’s mileage allowance is payable to cover fuel costs & clients pay for their journeys from a pre-set mileage chart.
Brian Perkins, a founder member and driver with the scheme for 25 years, recently retired from his driving duties. His many clients over the years wanted to extend their thanks for his services and a presentation was made to Brian and flowers given to his wife Mo at the recent Annual General Meeting.
