Stockport Car Scheme is a registered charity. We support Stockport residents who find it difficult to use public transport due to illness, age or disability. We have volunteer drivers, who use their own cars, to help people to get to appointments including social groups, day centres, visiting friends and family, hairdressers and shopping. We also take people to doctors, dentists, opticians and some hospitals. We collect from home, take to their appointment, wait with them if necessary, and then take home afterwards. All out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed. Please ring us on 0161 476 2812 for more information.
