Wheels in Nairn
- VO102866
Our volunteer drivers either give our clients a lift in their own car or in our 8 seat wheelchair adapted Electric Mercedes, 'Matilda'. You might use this vehicle for wheelchair users, but also if you don't immediately have your own car available. Journeys vary from a few miles in or around Nairn or from anywhere in Nairnshire to as far afield as Inverness, Dingwall and Golspie. We reimburse mileage expenses.
We encourage our volunteers to enjoy the company of others and to give our clients a warm and welcoming experience. We don't have rotas and don't impose trips - we circulate basic details of date, time and location and volunteers who are free and interested can volunteer to take the task which we allocate on a first come first served basis.
Volunteers don't need extra insurance. They'll need to notify their insurers, but because it's not "hire and reward" there will be no extra cost. We'll ask to see a copy of your insurance and driver's licence and we'll ask you to allow us to apply to Disclosure Scotland for a PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) check. We provide insurance for those who drive Matilda and we'll introduce you to driving her and how to use her foldaway wheelchair ramp.
