Volunteering for the BSG is a great way for me to do my bit for the community. I drive people to their medical appointments, day centres etc so they receive the vital help and support they need to keep healthy and happy. It’s a real pleasure to be part of that.
Since Volunteering for the BSG I have met so many sincerely thankful people in the community. I’ve heard hilarious and heartfelt stories during drives to appointments and always come home feeling I might have helped their day be that little bit more relaxed and trouble-free.
Volunteering for the BSG and being of help to others gives me a sense of purpose and encouragement. You get to know some of the clients really well, have a great chat with them and also meet and make friends with other Volunteers.
I volunteer because it feels good to be able to help and contribute to the community.
It is a privilege to help those in need across the Blackdowns.
Our passengers speak so highly of the BSG service, not only because it offers them easy access to medical and other appointments but also because in some cases it provides the only social contact they get in meeting and travelling with local drivers – for us that is satisfaction enough.
It certainly makes you realise how many people there are out there who are in need and who have little support locally. They are all so complimentary about the BSG.
