The charity SWAN Transport is appealing for more volunteer drivers.

SWAN supports isolated individuals and those struggling to access public or private transport in Bath & North East Somerset, as well as working to tackle loneliness and isolation within rural communities.
Despite recent recruitment, the demand for the service is constantly growing and the charity has a waiting list for passengers in need of regular journeys.
Becoming a volunteer with SWAN provides a lifeline for those with no alternative provisions.
SWAN’s transport scheme manager, Sofia Perkins, said: “Volunteering is more than just giving back to your community; it’s also a way to meet new friends, feel engaged and be supported whilst doing something worthwhile.”
Earlier this month, the charity hosted a quiz and buffet for volunteers to say thank you for their commitment, and more social events are planned throughout the year for the dedicated team.
