## Activities

**Activities:** &#x27;It carries out activities or services itself&#x27;

**Purposes:** &#x27;the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage&#x27;

**What the charity does:** We serve a dispersed rural population in South West Mull and Iona where there is limited public transport, no private taxi service, and limited patient transport. We coordinate the provision of transport services by volunteers and our employed coordinator using a mix of volunteers’ own vehicles and our electric Mercedes bus to provide free transport. Key activities include: transport to medical appointments, social events (including those aimed at the elderly or children), shops and ferries. delivery of shopping or prescriptions to the housebound. and provision of the 7 seater electric vehicle for use by residents and community groups. By doing this we ensure that residents are able to make important appointments and promote social inclusion of people who otherwise risk being isolated.

**Objectives:** The relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage in the Ross of Mull and Iona area by the provision of a volunteer drivers community transport scheme to enable them to attend health appointments, sports, social  and educational activities where alternative, affordable transport is not available.
