Volunteer drivers take registered users to Co-op, Social Outings, Lunch Club & Day Care, and our buses can be hired by other organisations. Our annual minibus mileage = Australia and back!

Happy 1st Birthday Lunch Club

Our lunch club brings older people together every 1st and 3rd Wednesday at St. Andrews Centre, Pershore.

Congratulations to one of our volunteer drivers

Pershore Volunteer Centre was established as an independent local charity to support the local community. We were established as an unincorporated body in 1984, became a registered charity in 1985, and in 2016 new legislation enabled us to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, with the aim of putting volunteering and well-being at the heart of the local community.

Community transport is an important aspect of the services we provide here in Pershore, particularly as public transport reduces and leaves more people isolated. Worcestershire County Council have updated their Passenger Transport Strategy which they use to decide how and where transport services are delivered and are now consulting on it. There is an online questionnaire for an opportunity to have your say and help shape the future of services in Worcestershire – it’s on the County Council’s website http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/passengertransportstrategy

The closing date for the consultation is 13^th September, but don’t put it off – have your say today!
