We have two fully accessible minibuses, adapted with grab handles and tail-lifts that can be used to take people who need to travel in their wheelchairs. They travel to the outlying villages to bring the elderly and disabled into the town centre. They also help to transport members to Luncheon Clubs and Day Centre facilities in the town.
