Our Case Studies

I am a car driver, minibus driver and also a Passenger Assistant.

I volunteer as a minibus driver for BCL. I drive the shopper buses on Mondays and Thursdays, on alternate weeks, to take groups of elderly people to Morrison’s in Beverley.

‘I found out about BCL by talking to a neighbour about one or two things when I first moved to Beverley over 13 years ago. I had been living in Kent and wanted to be closer to my son and his family who live in Hull.

 “St Andrew Housing Co-operative has been using Beverley Community Lift for a number of years. We have 8 residents who regularly use Beverley Community Lift minibus service for shopping trips to Morrison’s Supermarket in the town.

“My son is a young adult with learning difficulties, and he uses the BCL car service once a week to go to a local Community Care Farm. There, he looks after animals, does building work such as laying footpaths, and gardening and grass cutting.

Larry lives in Essex. His brother Howard, aged 67, has learning difficulties, and lives independently in sheltered accommodation in East Yorkshire, some 200 miles away. Larry arranges transport for Howard with Beverley Community Lift’s car service, twice a week, so that he can to go to Mires Beck Nursery and then home again.
