## Activities

**Objects:** The objects of the charity are to promote charitable purposes for the general benefit of such inhabitants of the villages of the Berkshire Downs and surrounding area as the trustees think fit with particular focus on (but not limited to) providing volunteers and transport facilities to:(a) the elderly, sick, disabled or otherwise in need to enable them to attend appointments, events, gatherings, social occasions and other recreational and leisure activities; (b) children to attend sports events or other recreational, leisure or educational activities; and(c) people otherwise in need due to there being no adequate public transport facilities to attend appointments, events, gatherings, social occasions and other educational, recreational and leisure activities.

**Activities:** We provide transport for persons in the Downland areas of West Berkshire who are elderly, sick or disabled or who are otherwise in need. We take people to Hospitals, Doctors' Surgeries, Dentists, Opticians, to social meetings and to anywhere else that may be appropriate.
