Interested in volunteering?
Volunteering can be extremely rewarding and can make a huge difference to your community. If you can spare a small amount of time to join our friendly team of volunteers to drive or to help to coordinate the service from your home, we would love to hear from you.
We can work around your availability and there is no fixed commitment for drivers. We email the list of requests to drivers and they select the trips they would like to do. We provide all the necessary training and a mileage allowance is paid to cover drivers' expenses.
Our volunteers enjoy being part of a friendly team.
Case Study
When I heard about Link it seemed the perfect way to do something useful while also being flexible and fitting in with my life.
Over a coffee and chat with the recruitment volunteer, she explained to me how Malmesbury Link operates and how best to do this as safely as possible while driving my own car. She talked me through how to apply to be DBS checked which was very quick and straightforward. Apart from that, all I had to do was inform the insurers that I would be doing volunteer driving which didn’t even alter my premiums.
We get emails listing the trips that are required and I offer to do one when I can. I find the clients are so grateful and enjoy the company while travelling to what would otherwise be a routine appointment.
Everything we need like parking permits and safety masks is supplied and we are paid a mileage allowance to cover our expenses and it has been great to meet a few other volunteers along the way too.
