Billingshurst Division
We run door to door services from the RH14 9xx postcode area. We’re aimed at individuals or groups who otherwise would not get out, or who value company.
We have a 2018 registered 12 seater minibus, with wide access and storage for shopping and mobility aids. We have access to other minibuses in the fleet.
We have a volunteer team of around 25 people, including around 20 drivers and escorts.
In 2019 we ran 185 trips, covering 1,100 passenger journeys and around 7,500 miles. Our 2020 services were suspended in March, due to the pandemic, and restarted in June 2021.
Regular journeys include shopping in Horsham and to Chichester. Excursions to Bognor, Worthing and Eastbourne are popular.
We also run theatre, panto, scenic drive and mystery trips. We visit pubs, Garden Centres and other places of interest.
Our minibus is available to local community groups.
We rely on fundraising events and donations to keep fares low.
Our Newsletter, which includes our schedule, is produced approximately quarterly and delivered to all our members. We also publish the schedule in The Village Tweet.
