When We Need You
From 01/03/2010 onwards
About Opportunity
We need a flexible person to drive the minibus for us when we are out on trips and activities with groups of anything from 5 - 14 people. We can't give regular days or times as our activities are so varied but on average we go out twice a month in better weather. Activities include visits to castles, gardens, theatre, shopping, activities such as golf, walking, beach cleans, or to our other projects in Stranraer or Dumfries to events happening there. A couple of times a year we go further afiled to maybe Glasgow or Edinburgh depending on what the group wants. An interest in mental health problems would be good but not necessary.
