Dial-a-Ride Needs Drivers

 Dial-a-Ride are looking for volunteer drivers, with their own cars, to take people to hospital and medical appointments, or to the shops or social events.  They get re-imbursed at 45p per mile travelled, and Dial-a-Ride also offers free first aid training for drivers.  DBS, references, and other checks are required.

They can be contacted on haydialaride.com or haydialaride@gmail.com, or phone Lesley Moore on 01497 821616.

Dial-a-Ride is a service for all ages, and their vehicles are fully accessible for any kind of disability.  Membership is £10, with fares for journeys travelled starting at £2, and cares travelling free.  They need 48 hours notice to organise a journey, and the members must live within a 9 mile radius of Hay.

They provide transport for hospital and medical appointments, shopping in Hay, visiting the library, going for coffee with friends, and social trips, and there is a regular Bank Bus to Brecon.  They run a free shopping service into Hay every Tuesday, and can pick up prescriptions on Tuesdays and Fridays.
