Community Car Schemes can help you get to things like medical appointments or hospital visits if you find using public transport difficult and don't have access to your own vehicle. Some schemes can also help you attend social opportunities or get your grocery shopping.

Community Car Schemes offer essential support for people who would otherwise struggle to reach medical appointments, go shopping, or stay connected with family and friends. Passengers pay a set mileage rate to the volunteer driver, who uses their own vehicle.
Journeys are arranged through a volunteer coordinator. Most schemes rely on local drivers from the villages they serve, so availability can vary. Because this is a volunteer-run service, it’s important to book your journey as far in advance as possible.
To learn more about the Community Car Scheme in the area—including contact details and eligible journey types—visit the webpage Community Transport on the Huntingdonshire District Council page here , or contact the Care Network Community Navigator for Huntingdonshire on 01480 775493 or via email on [email protected]

Volunteering as a Driver or Setting up a Community Car Scheme:
If you are interested in volunteering as a driver, you can find out more from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) – volunteer drivers are reimbursed 15p per mile and CPCA can assist with insurance and Disclosure and Barring Service checks.
Care Network Cambridgeshire works with CPCA to set up, support and sustain community car schemes and may be able to help with any enquiries you may have – for example, if you’d like to set up a scheme in your village.
