Community Transport

Our Community Transport Service helps with transport for older people and people with a disability.

We provide individual and group transport so our clients can:

  • attend essential services, eg: medical appointments
  • take part in shopping outings
  • visit our libraries

We require clients to make a contribution towards travel costs.

Home Library Service

Our free Home Library delivery service is available to those who have difficulty visiting their local libary. Items are selected to meet each customer's individual needs and delivered directly to their door.

Seniors Week

Based on the theme 'Live Life', Seniors Week is designed to recognise the contribution of older people in the local community and provide an opportunity to highlight the diverse interests and achievements of over 55s. Seniors Week is held annually.

To be part of Seniors Week or for more information view our Seniors Week page located under our Council Events pages.

Social Support Services

These services are available to help give carers of frail older people, and people with  a disability,  the chance to have a break from the responsibilities of full time care. We also provide the person being cared for with the opportunity for new experiences and different social contacts.
