I feel rewarded every day I go out driving people in my car – Mick

Jim has been a volunteer driver for BACT for over 16 years and driven a lot of miles on our behalf during that time.  Jim says he loves driving and meeting people and people are always so appreciative.  He says it gives you “That feel good factor!”

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.

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!
