02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Wheels In Nairnshire (WIN) is a community transport provider. WIN assists anyone in the local community who needs help with transport, tackling the weaknesses in current transport provision, social isolation and addressing the unmet needs identified by local people. It seeks to benefit the communities of Ardersier, Tornagrain, Dalcross, Croy, and those of Nairn and Nairnshire which are defined as falling within the postcode area IV12. We deliver the Nairnshire Dial a Bus service with an electric vehicle and core funding through a Service Level Agreement with Highland Council. We also operate a volunteer car driver scheme. Whilst our volunteers use their own cars to provide lifts for a range of purposes, they also are able to serve passengers with a WIN-owned wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV). Both services are delivered on a Pay What You Can afford basis.
