Transport

The East Yorkshire community transport operator, Beverley Community Lift (BCL), has launched an appeal for new volunteers in the county as the charity approaches its 50th anniversary year. The service helps dozens of people every week in the East Riding with car and minibus transport services, particularly those who have difficulties using public transport or have no access to a car.

The need to travel to access employment and education opportunities, health and social services and leisure and recreational facilities is becoming increasingly important for people living in rural areas. Centralisation of services coupled with the dispersed and small nature of rural communities has left many individuals vulnerable to isolation and social exclusion.

Community Transport Organisations in the East Riding provide a vital link that connects many disadvantaged and geographically isolated people to the services and facilities they need. Many residents of the East Riding who do not have access to a private car or appropriate public transport depend on community transport services as their primary means of access to healthcare, shopping, and social activities.
