As a Volunteer Driver, your primary responsibility is to pick up one to two older guests from their homes, ensuring they can join our tea parties.

- Completion of a DBS check (costs covered by Re-engage).
- A four-door car, a valid driver's license, and appropriate MOT and insurance.
- Regular contact with your assigned activity guests, ensuring their attendance and arranging convenient pickup times.
