Message from Milford Volunteer Drivers (MVD)

To ensure our continued excellent service to our community, as our client base continues to grow, we urgently need to recruit additional volunteer drivers and/or office coordinators. Drivers are paid 50p per mile for every journey undertaken, you decide when you are available and we provide personal liability insurance, cover car insurance excess and no claims discount. Office coordinators work in the Community Centre, for as little as 2 hours a month, organising client’s requests for transport.

We are also looking to recruit a volunteer as an administrator to take over the recruitment for the Group’s volunteer drivers and/or office coordinators. This is a home-based ad hoc role responding to prospective volunteer calls, sending application forms and any supporting paperwork to prospective volunteers and progressing applications to interview.

If you are interested in joining our friendly group as a volunteer, please leave a message on our prospective volunteer mobile 07716 118914 and we will respond as soon as possible.

To get involved with MVD or for more information please contact Will on 07716 118914.

To book a journey, please call: 01590 641700. 

About Milford Community Care Group

The Milford Community Care Group was founded in 1982 by two women from All Saints’ church who recognised villagers’ need for reliable transport to medical appointments. From these small beginnings the Group expanded into the Registered Charity it is today. At its peak the Group was driving 40 people a week to medical appointments. In 2022 the group was renamed to Milford Volunteer Drivers (MVD).
