It’s great Fermanagh Community Transport Ltd is now an accredited Living Wage Employer, committed to paying a wage based on the cost of living to all their staff. Charities cannot be expected to run on the goodwill of their staff.

Listen to Tom on why you should #TickTheBox when you donate, so the charities close to your heart can

FCT urgently needs new volunteers who will join our incredible volunteer social car driver team. This team plays a vital role in helping us help those who do not have access to public transport or to private transport to get to hospital, health & wellbeing appointments.

[Community Transport Association @CTAUK1]

RCTPs make around 200,000 journeys per year, with 91% of Dial-a-lift passengers being disabled and/or older people.

These services ensure disabled passengers attend GP/health appointments, hospital appointments (within area), attend day centre opportunities, shopping, visit friends and family, post office/banking, training or local employment, and provide vital links to the public transport network.

Families of vulnerable young people say that proposed cuts to community transport would be 'devastating.'

*The @deptinfra decision extend Dial-A-Lift funding for one month causes us great concern about the future of this lifeline service.
The figures below speak for themselves. This will affect jobs, families, elderly, disabled and vulnerable within Northern Ireland.

Any decision to🔻or ❌DfI Rural Dial a Lift funding will represent an assault on the most vulnerable in our society - the rural elderly and disabled. The direct & indirect impact in human, social and financial terms will be catastrophic. 75% of Fermanagh's population is rural!

@jemma_dolan @gildernewm @GildernewColm @CllrSmcguigan @cathalboylansf @deptinfra @RuralCommNet @ofrarsn @FRCI15 A powerful and important conversation with the Sinn Fein Team. A big thank you to @jemma_dolan and @ainemurphy116 for making this happen. #SaveOurCT #Rural #Vulnerable #Elderly #Disabled #Fermanagh @FermanaghJulian

@FermanaghTrust @deptinfra @moneillsf @J_Donaldson_MP @naomi_long @BeattieDoug @ColumE @RuralCommNet It absolutely does. Any cut or termination of funding for rural community transport would fall disproportionately and profoundly on our rural vulnerable, especially our elderly and the disabled.
