Volunteers
Our Committee
Our committee members are all volunteers with a diverse set of skills, they are dedicated to keeping CATS on the road and serving the local communities with transport to access local hubs to carry out every day essential services or attend medical appointments.
CATS are always looking for new members to join the committee who have a desire to help their local community and shape the future of CATS.
Our Minibus and Community Car Drivers
Our volunteer drivers are invaluable to us, they are dedicated to helping their passengers, maintain their independence, to go shopping, socialising, or attending appointments. They are caring, patient and willing to assist passengers on to our vehicle or with their shopping bags.
All our volunteer drivers are DBS checked and Midas Trained.
CATS is always looking for new drivers either to drive one of our vehicles or their own (expenses paid). Please contact us for more information
