About Yaxham Community Car Scheme

Yaxham Community Car Scheme was set up in January 2015 to offer transport to residents of Yaxham who may have mobility issues, or don't have their own transport.The service is primarily for medical appointments but sometimes journeys for other reasons are made. We currently have 10 volunteer drivers, most of whom are busy people. It is rare that we are unable to offer help with a request for a journey. A list of destinations with charges is given to all registered passengers; two thirds of the cost is paid by passengers and one third paid from a grant issued by the Yaxham Parish Charity. Charges are considerably lower than a taxi would be and passengers appreciate that they usually know who will drive them. Occasionally drivers are asked to accompany their passengers to an appointment - most are pleased to do so.
