Radstock- based SWAN Community Transport welcomes new team member and reaches out to young people.

New volunteer coordinator Helen Allen: “We are excited to now be running a scheme to recruit younger volunteers (age 18-25 years old). We want to hear from any young people who would like join our small and friendly team. Many people; young and old, in our community experience loneliness and isolation, and we want to help tackle that. ”

Roles include driving, travel buddying, and planning /hosting social events. We want to be able to increase the frequency of our social events and it would be great for some younger people to be involved. We will provide lots of support to new volunteers and you would be welcomed by our passengers who are all keen to have some younger people to connect with.

“All of this is made possible by our awesome volunteers who are at the centre at of our charity. Many of our passengers would not be able to get out if it wasn’t for transport; it’s vital in tackling loneliness and isolation in our community.”

If you would like to find out more about volunteering with us please contact Helen Allen: 07447 816479/ Whatsapp +7447 816479/ or email [email protected]
