Tiverton & District Community Transport Association's PERSONAL MESSAGE

Walk This Way

Fri 1st September to Fri 22nd December 2017

Tiverton and District Community Transport Association (TDCTA) are hosting a sponsored walk to raise funds for a new accessible minibus. This will take the form of a walk, pushing a virtual minibus’, starting on Friday 1st September and walking a minimum of 10,000 miles.

The format will be for groups and individuals to assist our charity in one of the following ways:

Individuals or groups can log their steps/miles every week

Create a group event with work, friends or social group

Come into the Community Transport Office and log some miles on our treadmill

Tiverton and District Community Transport Association (TDCTA) is a local registered charity based in Phoenix Lane, Tiverton. We provide transport solutions for members of the local community who find it difficult to use public transport. We offer a range of services including the Voluntary Car Scheme and Ring and Ride Buses with trained drivers and fully accessible vehicles, we cover routes around Tiverton and surrounding villages.

Additionally, we have a range of mobility vehicles allowing our service users access to shops in the town centre.

This service has regularly improved people’s quality of life by giving them mobility, and independence as well as benefiting local shops and businesses which in turn helps the growth of the local economy.

We operate two minibuses services that receive a high flow of requests from wheelchair bound customers, who use the services to enable them to travel to vital hospital and doctor’s appointments, day care and respite stays. The minibuses are also used by many regular customers to remain independent and carry on basic tasks, such as weekly shopping, visiting friends and socialising.

This year the two vehicles together covered a staggering 33,423 miles (excluding the school contract mileage) and have enabled 10,695 wheelchair bound or passengers with limited mobility to attend vital appointments and remain independent within their local communities.

Unfortunately, due to their age and the high mileage both vehicles have travelled, they are regularly incurring costly garage repairs.

As well as seeking grants for the replacement vehicles we are constantly hosting ‘in house’ fundraising to strive to achieve our goals. With this in mind the staff, volunteers and customers at Tiverton and District Community Transport Association are preparing to participate in a sponsored walk. This will take the form of a ‘virtual walk, pushing a virtual minibus’, starting on Friday 1st September and walking a minimum of 10,000 miles by Christmas 2017.

Thank you for your sponsorship and support, this will assist us in achieving our goals.
