LOUTH & DISTRICT VOLUNTARY CAR SERVICE
We are here to help anyone who needs to get to their own doctor or to hospital medical appointments, whether for clinics, physiotherapy treatment, blood test, x-ray, the Woldside day clinic, dentist, eye test or to visit a friend or relative in hospital. We can even get you home from hospital when you are discharged. The ward nursing staff will call us for you.
Our office is based within the Louth hospital grounds, so it is very near for you when you are at the hospital.
All our drivers have to go through police checks and have full insurance to ensure your safety, so you can use this service with confidence. We have drivers based locally also in:
LOUTH, SKEGNESS, ALFORD, BOSTON, WRAGBY and WOODHALL SPA.
COST
There is a minimum charge of £3.50 for a round trip of up to 10 miles.
35 pence a mile thereafter.
The driver will pick you up at your home and get you to your appointment on time. He will then wait for you till ready for the return journey. All are volunteers who give their time to help the community and only get paid to cover car expenses.
Please remember that we are NOT a taxi service and will need to be advised of your requirements in advance if possible. Our clients usually book their transport as soon as they receive their appointment.
HOWEVER, in an emergency
Do not hesitate to call us and we will do our best to help at any time, day or night.
Outside of our designated areas, we can assist by advising about other services.
