Section F Other optional information rd Because of the MIDAS & PATS Training, 3 Sector organisations have been able to be more independent and transport their members to various activities in a safe, economical and legal manner, improving the practical learning and experiences by their members. The provision of the transport services has been utilised by organisations who don't have access to suitable transport, and has also been invaluable to those organisations whose members have mobility difficulties, as the use of the passenger lift for wheelchair and easier access for people with walking frames and mobility difficulties has meant that those people have had the opportunity to travel to, and experience social activities and events that previously they had not been able to do due to the accessible restrictions of using other forms of transport, which has been a great benefit to their own wellbeing and social inclusion, reducing isolation and being a benefit to the community.
