Travel companions support people who are still physically able to use public transport but have issues with confidence, anxiety or following a route. Our travel companions allow people to maintain as much independence as they can while travelling.

We support adults in Lewisham who are unable to use public transport, either through physical or mental impairment. Our service gives a vital lifeline to our 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.
