About WRVS
WRVS, Scottish Borders Community Transport provides a service for people who have difficulties getting around, and offers them transport, which enables them to access the services they need at the time they need it.
The people we offer our service to might be disabled, frail or simply unable to manage the local public transport system.
Our WRVS volunteers give up their time to this project using their own cars to provide the service for simple tasks such as a doctor’s or hairdressers appointments, shopping, visiting a friend. Trips can be regular or one/off.
