Charity needs a lift
Volunteer Action (VA) is a local charity which operates in Oundle, Thrapston, and over 50 surrounding villages. Its principal activity is the running of a community car scheme which aims to provide reasonably-priced transport for those in genuine need who live in the
area. Its volunteer drivers take passengers to hospital, surgery or dental appointments, and for social and shopping trips.
It would be impossible for VA to deliver its services without its volunteers, which number around 135, covering drivers, befrienders and office staff. We currently are short of drivers, particularly in Thrapston and its villages.
We pay our drivers 40p per mile for their mileage, including home to pick-up point. If you would be interested in becoming a volunteer, or might wish to use VA’s services – or would be willing to make a donation – then please visit our website www.volunteeractionoundle.org.uk for further details, or call us on 01832 275433.
