Community Transport
Pershore Volunteer Centre provides a Community Transport service for residents with limited mobility or those unable to use public transport, thanks to our team of vetted volunteer drivers (all DBS checked and wearing ID badges).
Our service has two elements:
- Social Car Scheme: Volunteer drivers use their own cars for pre-booked journeys.
- Minibus Service: Wheelchair-accessible vehicles and minibuses available for shopping trips, social activities, or community group hire.
Our Community Transport service is for registered clients only. To register, call 01386 554299, visit our office, or complete the online form. Please bring your bus pass if applicable.
Booking Desk Hours:
Open for bookings:
- Monday-Thursday: 10.00am - 4.00pm
- Friday: 10.00am-1.00pm
Staff may be taking lunch between 12.30-1.30pm. If you can't get through then please leave a voicemail and someone will call you back.

Our Social Car Scheme helps reduce isolation in rural communities by providing low-cost transport for those with limited access. Fares are comparable to local bus fares, with a £1 discount per journey for bus pass holders.
All passengers must register to use our social car scheme.
