Ad-Hoc Travel Companion

Love a chat? Available on the occasional Tuesday evening? Live locally in Farnborough or Yateley? We're on the hunt for volunteers to join our pool of mini-bus 'conductors' helping youngsters on and off of the bus as it makes its way to and from our young carers clubs.

A young carer is someone under 18 who helps look after, or whose life is significantly affected by, a family member who is ill, disabled, has a mental health condition or an addiction. They often take on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that would normally be expected of an adult.

Through our term-time Young Carers clubs we are able to offer emotional/social/peer support, practical help and respite care to around 130 young carers living across Hart & Rushmoor. However, transporting them to and from the clubs often proves a massive barrier as many of them do not have access to the 'taxi service of mum & dad' that so many of us living in the area take for granted.
