A helping hand for people who need accessible transport

Posted 06.03.2021

More so than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic, our Disability Action Transport Scheme (DATS) team is providing a helping hand for people needing accessible transport.

Our friendly fully trained drivers can transport disabled people and their carer on essential journeys. They can collect and deliver your groceries or bring you to a health appointment.

If you need transport for essential journeys or for more information call our team on 028 9029 7870 between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday.
