Castle Point Social Car Scheme – Essex Community Foundation

Fairness and Equality

Castle Point Social Car Scheme

The Scheme offers accessible transport to residents of Castle Point who, for reasons of age, health or disability, are unable to drive themselves, or easily access alternative transport.

The organisation uses cars and minibuses to take people to health appointments, food shopping, or to visit friends, as well as organising group day trips to garden centers, public gardens, and historic buildings. Our funding towards their core costs has helped them to continue this service and has given their members more independence. They told us that during the year of this funding, they transported 15,000 passengers a total of over 80,000 miles.
