Are you unable to get to your healthcare appointments due to not being able to drive or use public transport?

Do you live in Highcliffe, Walkford, Friars Cliff or Mudeford?
(BH23 “4 “and BH23 “5” Postcodes)

If so, Highcliffe Friends in Need may be able to find a volunteer driver
to drive you to your appointment and back home again.

Call one of our volunteer coordinators on 01425 524100
09:30am to 12:30pm - Monday to Friday (except public holidays)

  • You will need to book a week in advance where possible – a minimum of at least 2 weekdays notice.
  • Transport is provided in the volunteer driver’s own car; the driver is only responsible for you whilst you are in their car and covered by their car insurance.
  • Clients requiring assistance, especially when attending appointments, will need to be accompanied by a friend or carer.
  • We are unable to take clients in wheelchairs, but mobility aids can usually be accommodated, please make the coordinator aware of which type you have when you book.
  • Users of the scheme will be invited to make a suggested voluntary donation to cover the driver's costs.
  • We cannot always guarantee being able to meet your needs, but we will do our best to assist you.
