🚗💙 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! 💙🏥

We’re looking for friendly, caring volunteers who can accompany passengers on their journey from the car to the hospital — no driving required! 🚶‍♀️🏥

With parking at some hospitals being difficult, our volunteer drivers can’t always leave the car to help. That’s where you could make a real difference. ❤️

Introducing another one of our fabulous Volunteer Drivers, Steve.

Steve began volunteering for Bridges back in 2022 while still working full time, and since retiring in 2024 has dedicated even more of his time to helping others. Steve has completed over 240 Car Scheme journeys, driving more than 4,000 miles to help people access healthcare, stay connected with family and friends and remain independent.

Steve also volunteers his time for Bridges being a Befriender and Tri-shaw Pilot. His kindness and commitment are reflected in the words of one passenger who described Steve as "so much more than a driver" and said that their journeys has grown into a wonderful friendship.

At the Volunteering for Wellbeing Summer Gathering, Steve received an award for being one of our Hidden Hero's. Thank you Steve for everything you do for us at the Car Scheme, and the Bridges Centre 💛

At our summer event, we were delighted to award 6 of our volunteers from across the county, a special Room to Reward award for their remarkable contribution to volunteering.

Our first is Liz, a wonderful woman who is a volunteer befriender, driver, volunteers at the local park run, the local theatre and many other community events, always with a huge smile and bags of warmth and compassion for everyone she meets.

Thanks to Room to Reward, Liz can now enjoy a free break away for a couple of days as a small thankyou for her huge contribution to improving the lives of people in Monmouthshire.

Here is Liz with our lovely befriending co-ordinator Meg.

On Friday, at the Volunteering for Wellbeing Summer Gathering, Richard received an award for being one of our Hidden Hero's. Thank you Richard, for everything you do for us at the Car Scheme, and the Bridges Centre 💛

Without Bridges Community Car Scheme, Shirley would struggle to get out and about and attend her regular groups where she catches up with friends and stays connected to her community.

Thanks to the kindness and dedication of our amazing volunteer drivers, people like Shirley can continue living independently.
