The VCC Driving Scheme helps residents who live in the Borough of Lewisham who would have great difficulty in using public transport. The Coordinator matches passengers with a volunteer driver. Our passengers come from all walks of life and are facing a wide range of issues. The journey requirements vary according to the needs of any one passenger. For example, you might be taking an elderly lady to visit her husband in a nursing home, which may include pushing her wheelchair (only volunteer’s who are willing, or whose health allows them, will be asked to push a wheelchair), or taking someone who has suffered from a stroke to a club at the same time each week. Perhaps, you will be taking a teenager with disabilities to a physiotherapy session. Occasionally we arrange longer journeys such as day trips to the coast or to respite care centres that are out of our area.
