Join Us as a Volunteer Driver!

Are you looking for a rewarding way to give back to your community?

Our charity is seeking volunteer drivers to help transport our valued members on exciting outings every other week. We operate minibuses that take our not-so-young and not-so-able residents of Midhurst and the surrounding areas to a variety of local venues and attractions, including cosy pubs, beautiful National Trust sites, delightful pantomimes, and seasonal markets.

By volunteering with us as a minibus driver, you will play a vital role in reducing social isolation for those who might otherwise be confined to their homes. Your support allows our members to enjoy a change of scenery, share a meal, and connect over common interests, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

If you're ready to make a difference and enjoy some heartfelt moments with our wonderful members, we would love to hear from you!

Skills

Full driving licence and medically fit to drive

About Tandem

We are a Midhurst based charity founded in 1983 that provides transport and social activities for the not so young and not so able. We take accompanied groups on day trips to stately homes, museums, impressive gardens, flower festivals, shopping venues and more! We pick members up from their home (Midhurst/Petworth area), take you to the venue, then on to enjoy a day out in good company before taking you back home.

Tandem’s work also lies in providing door-to-door transport to and from doctors, dentists, opticians and hospital appointments. A Tandem volunteer takes the person there and back by car or in a wheelchair equipped vehicle, depending on need.
