Two Bridges is a care group that helps infirm, disabled and aged people from the community, to get to doctors, dentists and other medical appointments. The community served by Two Bridges consists of Fordingbridge, Sandleheath, Alderholt and Godshill and has recently been extended to include Rockbourne and Martin. Destinations include Fordingbridge, Salisbury, Southampton, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Lymington.

The need for volunteer drivers is fast increasing, due to the continuing effects of Covid, and to the wider areas in which the group operates. The group would like to hear from anyone who would like to join the team to help to meet the needs of our clients who are always very appreciative of the service provided. 

Clients are asked for a voluntary anonymous donation for the transport provided, and drivers are paid fuel costs. If you feel that you would find this work as drivers interesting, enjoyable and rewarding, do contact Valerie Allpress, Chair, on Valerie@Allpress.org
