Newton Abbot Community Transport Association
Social Inclusion
We'd like an accessible vehicle to take wheelchairs, scooters and special cycles to events and locations where they are most needed.
About this cause
NACTA provides a range of transport options for people wanting to get out and about in Newton Abbot and surrounding areas. We provide accessible, affordable transport and services for our local community, supporting increased mobility, social contact and independence using wheelchair accessible vehicles, Ring & Ride door to door minibuses, Shopmobility scooters, wheelchairs and walkers, aids to daily living and we operate three weekly local scheduled bus services. We are supported by friendly staff and volunteers, trained and happy to help - and aware that not everyone is as agile as they might like to be!
How this cause brings people in the community together
Supported by our lovely volunteers and staff, the vehicle will provide a means for people to join in with their local community, enjoy days out with friends and family, celebrate local events, breathe in fresh air, chat to others, shop locally, take exercise and enjoy country views. All this will combat loneliness and boost health and wellbeing for people directly involved and those around them.
