Door to Door/Dial A Ride
We provide a friendly and reliable door-to-door transport service for residents in Leiston, Saxmundham, Woodbridge, and Aldeburgh. Our fully wheelchair-accessible minibuses are ideal for individuals who may need a bit of extra help with their journey—whether that’s assistance to the vehicle or simply finding the walk to the shops a little too far.
Our service is designed to support independence and social connection, helping people get out and about with ease. Whether you’re heading to the shops, a healthcare appointment, a lunch club, visiting friends and family, or joining one of our organised day trips to local attractions, we’re here to help you travel safely and comfortably.
Who can use the service?
Anyone who registers as a member can use our door-to-door transport. Membership is just £15 per year.
Fares (return journey):
-
Journeys up to 4 miles – £4.50
-
Journeys from 4 to 9 miles – £5.50
Our service is proudly operated by a team of dedicated volunteer drivers who are committed to helping our community stay connected and mobile.
