Community Connections Lewisham, a project run by Age UK Lewisham and Southwark, are committed to reducing social isolation in Lewisham. We are looking to fill own car driver roles in our community transport project.

We support adults in Lewisham who are unable to use public transport, either through physical or mental impairment. Our drivers give a vital lifeline to our service users who otherwise would not be able to go to social groups, GP appointments or visit family among many other activities important in warding off mental ill health and isolation.

These individuals are referred to us through Adult Social Care, GPs, Hospitals and local community services and social groups. Volunteering with Community Connections Lewisham will give you access to our induction, training, other voluntary roles, and can give great experience of the charity and health and social care sector in the borough.

We are able to reimburse drivers for their fuel, parking and any other out of pocket expenses incurred during your work with us.

**Responsibilities**:

- Drive our service users from their homes to their destination, mostly within borough but on occasion outside of Lewisham
