Accessible Transport in South East Dorset -

Community cars

For essential journeys where there is no public transport

Shopmobility

Gain your freedom and remove the barriers to independent shopping

Safe, accessible, and affordable transport.

Our purpose is to provide affordable, accessible and safe transport services within the local area and promote social inclusion, independence and a sense of Community through this.

Our services are aimed at anyone who faces barriers to using public transport due to mobility issues, anyone with a disability, including physical, cognitive or sensory impairment, and low-income and vulnerable individuals. We provide transport to get you to your vital medical and hospital appointments, shopping trips, social trips, and more. We also offer a wide range of mobility equipment to hire.

Unfortunately, our membership is at capacity – we will update this site when membership opportunities become available.
