Given sufficient notice, we can usually find a volunteer driver willing to provide a courteous and helpful wait-and-return service to destinations from half a mile to even 20 miles away.

In return, we expect a donation sufficient to cover the drivers expenses at HMRC rates (45p/mile), and any parking charges plus perhaps a little extra to compensate the driver for waiting time and, we hope, good service or as contribution to our funds.

We rely entirely on donations to operate the service.
