02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
In line with our purpose we provide a door to door transport service for patients of Portlethen Medical Centre and Portlethen Dental Practice to enable them to attend appointments and clinics. We operate a minibus which is fully accessible enabling us to transport wheelchair bound and other disabled people. All volunteers drivers are MiDAS trained. In addition, we assist local elderly social groups with regular weekly trips to meetings and lunch clubs providing social interaction and promoting wellbeing. When free from these commitments we also provide transport for local community groups social outings. Our activities are possible because of the generosity of the many donors who support us.
