VOLT Session: Volunteer Driving

Volunteer Now, in partnership with the Community Transport Association (CTA), will be delivering a session focusing on the role of volunteer driving.

In the session, we will be introducing the landscape, explaining the trends and findings from latest research.  We will also be speaking about insurance implications, mileage rates and issues around recruitment and retention of volunteers.

Volunteer drivers can be involved in a range of different roles, such as transporting older people to appointments, transporting young people to school, collecting food from local supermarkets, and more.  Drivers contribute a significant number of hours, with 16% of formal volunteers ‘providing transport or driving’.

We want to hear from you directly about the current challenges and good news stories, while allowing organisations to network, collaborate and learn from each other.  If you currently involve volunteers as drivers, or may like to involve volunteers in these roles, we would love to see you at the session.
