Community Transport is not a luxury, it's essential. Without this service, daycare facilities would be forced to close ending a lifeline to so many people who rely on it for a better quality of life. 250,000 trips, to GPs, to hospital appointments and day care would simply stop.

@Vic8Armstrong Good luck Victoria great idea, you could suggest a twinning scheme with CT schemes in the UK?

[Andrew Grieve @andybats1]

@MarkNuttall12 So sorry to hear this I too went through this with my wife Jackie who had a GBM 4 diagnosed in 2011 and died in 2015 aged 46. RIP

Millions of people across the UK are lonely. CTA in England is working with @transportgovuk to develop an evidence base for how transport policies can reduce the number of people feeling lonely in communities. Read about #TacklingLoneliness 👉https://t.co/cl7C0uIC9h 👵👴👨‍🦽🚐

📢CTA has submitted the Spring Budget representation advocating for a fair, transparent review of the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP), as the current rate DOES NOT reflect the real cost of motoring for volunteers.

#TacklingLoneliness with CT - message from one of our project partners @AgeUKTrafford
"On this week’s trip one of our staff said she saw the whole group getting off the bus all linking arms and walking off together. So good to see the purpose of the activity working so well." ❤

@wisewoodarmoury My wife died in 2015 after a 5 year struggle with a brain tumour. It's a terrible shock when it happens even if you knew it was coming. You need to take as long as you need to mourn her loss and take one day st a time. Don't set the bar too high it can take a year to feel better

[Andrew Grieve @andybats1]

@iancombo @RenewalTrust @Ct4nTrust Nice work Ian, the voluntary group driver really saves money for community organisations as a paid driver is the bulk of the cost to them. Its how CT came about, a real cornerstone of a proper CT schemes offering to the community.

[Andrew Grieve @andybats1]

@Gemma_Lelliott Happy Birthday Gemma keep up the excellent work!
