About

Link helps local residents get to medical appointments when they have no other way of getting there.

Link helps local residents get to medical appointments when they have no other way of getting there. If you think this is you, just call us on 07979 129052, giving as much notice as possible. Our phone is usually manned from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays.

Can Link help you?

If you have a medical appointment, one of our Link volunteer drivers will come and pick you up from home at an appropriate time to get you to your appointment; we will then wait and return you back home.

Donations

Many clients will ask how much should I give? As a charity, we do not charge for our services but do rely on client donations to cover our running costs, which consist mainly of petrol money for our drivers of 45p per mile. The driver can give clients an idea of the mileage for their trip but the actual donation is at the client’s discretion.

If you are in receipt of certain benefits, you may be able to claim some or all of your travel costs from the hospital you are attending. Called the “Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme” information is available on the NHS website.
