Can you become a Miles of Smiles volunteer driver?
Miles of Smiles is a community transport scheme operating for use by residents of Tameside where volunteer drivers use their own cars and the Miles of Smiles wheelchair accessible vehicle to take people to and from health and wellbeing appointments. Drivers are not paid for their time but there is a charge to cover running costs. This charge is paid direct to the driver and should not include tips.
This year’s Tameside Toy Appeal has been another success due to the work from our amazing volunteers, our Tameside communities, Children’s Centres, local businesses and of course the generous donations of toys and gifts from Tameside residents. Watch the Toy Appeal Video here.
Special thanks to our partners, Tameside Radio and Reporter and Tameside Council’s Children Centres’ who work tirelessly to make Tameside Toy Appeal as success each year.
