Can you help with volunteer driving?
Transport for Sick Children helps children in need by providing transport to local health appointments. We have a team of volunteer drivers who drive accompanied children to healthcare appointments in their own cars. The role is flexible so can work around other commitments. We supply child car seats, expenses are reimbursed monthly and it doesn't affect your car insurance. We're particularly looking for drivers in Rochdale and Oldham, if you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you.
