sedcat is a charity dedicated to meeting the transport needs of people with mobility issues to prevent social isolation and loneliness. Using public transport can be difficult, if not impossible, for many of our more vulnerable community members in Bournemouth and the surrounding areas. At sedcat, our aim is to bridge that gap with the provision of safe, accessible, and affordable transport.
