Minibus Driver - MHA Communities Farsley

As a volunteer minibus driver, you will drive the minibus to transport older people from our Community Group to areas of local interest. As a Volunteer Driver you will be responsible for the safety of the older people in your care. 

What are the benefits of becoming a volunteer? 

By becoming a volunteer driver, you can make a positive difference in the lives of older people who may be feeling lonely or isolated. You can also enrich your own life with new experiences and friendships. 

You will also gain valuable skills and knowledge that can enhance your personal and professional development.

How much time do I need to commit as a volunteer? 

The time commitment varies depending on the needs of the MHA location you are matched with and your availability. Generally, MHA asks for a minimum of one hour per week for at least six months.

What kind of support will I receive as a volunteer?  

You will receive ongoing support and guidance from a local coordinator who will match you with an older person, monitor your progress, and provide feedback. You will also have access to online resources, training opportunities, and peer support from other volunteers.
