Who are we?
The Douglas Woolcock Transport Project is operated by The Douglas Woolcock Foundation Trust (Registered Charity Number 1045800), a small local charity that provides transport in adapted vehicles, to wheelchair users and those with mobility issues which make it very difficult for them to access other forms of transport.
We prioritise support getting to and from medical appointments but can also help with social transport needs, such as visiting Pengarth Hub in Penzance.
We are entirely funded by public donations and all of our staff are trained volunteers who give their time freely.
What do we do?
We collect you from your home and take you to healthcare appointments at Cape Cornwall Surgery, St Clare Medical Centre in Penzance or to any of the hospitals and clinics between Land's End and Truro.
Our vehicles are fully adapted with ramps and winches to safely get users on board, but we may ask that manual wheelchair users bring an escort to help with access to and from the vehicle for appointments.
Where availability allows, we try to support wider social needs of users, such as transport to see friends & familiy or to attend social events.
Everyone we collect will be returned to their home.
Am I eligible?
Yes, if you live within the catchment area for Cape Cornwall Surgery, St Just. Our priority is always to wheelchair users and those with mobility difficulties which make using taxis or public transport difficult.
What does it cost?
For shorter trips we ask for donations towards the cost of fuel and vehicle running costs. For longer trips we have set mileage charges. We will let you know which applies to you when we confirm your booking.
All our drivers and assistants are volunteers who give their time, care and attention freely to support their local community.
How do I book?
By phoning or texting our Transport Co-ordinator, Lauren, on 07899 412 060.
Please book as far in advance as possible to avoid dissapointment.
Lauren is available between 7:30 - 18:00. Please leave a message with as much information as possible and she will call you back to confirm costs and availability.
