Kevin was made redundant in a round of local council cuts.  He came to BACT to see what he could do to keep himself occupied. Kevin is now driving his car regularly as a volunteer – spending a lot of time particularly to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and the James Paget University Hospital!  Whilst it’s not a wage, the expenses he gets driving help to keep his car on the road and provides him with a high level of satisfaction in helping others.  Kevin has subsequently also introduced his dad to BACT who is now volunteering for us too!

I joined bact as a volunteer driver as I became aware of the mobility issues faced by my in-laws and parents as they aged.  Meeting older people I began to appreciate their life experiences which were invariably tougher than mine.  I have also met many younger people who have various mobility issues and have always been impressed by their positivity which I hope has also been shown in my bact duties.  In summary, it has been a very rewarding experience.
