Link Schemes are voluntary groups which offer a transport and good neighbour service to local people who are in need, perhaps because they are elderly, disabled, isolated and lonely, single parents, or perhaps temporarily in need because of illness. They operate as small, independent charitable organisations and all volunteers use their own private vehicles. (Insurance and DBS checks are carried out).To give you an idea of the level of support The Link Schemes offer – last year they made 31,351 health related journeys and completed 48,027 good neighbour tasks which incorporate collecting prescription’s and shopping.
