Bassetlaw covers 256 miles of predominantly rural area served by 2 market towns.
Many older and vulnerable Bassetlaw residents have transport needs to allow them to access essential services.
The Action Centre boasts three transport projects, including the well-established car scheme with over 50 volunteer drivers, a fully accessible MPV and Minibus, which help to break down barriers into employment and helps many older residents to access services, reducing isolation.
Our other areas of work include Bassetlaw Self Help Link which promotes local Self Help groups, Staying Well in Bassetlaw which is a 6 week course to help people manage their long term conditions, Get Out Get Active (GOGA) encourages people to take part in safe and fun activities, Home Support provides domestic support in the home, Housing Choice for people who are considering their options to meet their changing needs, and Befriending for those who are most socially isolated.
