• Being There - Transport to hospital appointments and medical treatment

    Being There has a small team of volunteer drivers who can take people with life limiting illnesses to hospital appointments, medical treatment and to our support groups. As well as driving, they are trained to listen and respond in an understanding and empathic way. We try to provide transport to those who need it but we may not always have volunteers available so we need as much notice as possible of any appointment. Please note that we are not an emergency service. Cost: Free - Suggested donation of £5 towards transport costs
