Totnes Caring - Transport

Services we offer

Transport to and from medical appointments. 
Our volunteer drivers transport clients to and from hospital, doctors’ surgeries, dentists, opticians and other places, such as our Memory Cafe and Lunch Clubs.

The sooner you book your transport, there is more of a chance that we will be able to find you a driver. We always do our best to fulfil all drives, but sometimes we just do not have enough volunteer drivers.

Totnes Caring receives no direct Funding and relies on your donation to cover the costs of your journey.
