BCA provides two  important transport services, the Good Neighbour Scheme and the community minibus.  We are indebted to our excellent team of volunteer drivers, escorts and co-ordinators.

If you like driving, enjoy meeting people and have some time to spare either regularly or occasionally, we would be delighted to hear from you. To find out more about our volunteer driving opportunities please contact us.

Good Neighbour Scheme

This is our door to door transport scheme that links volunteer drivers with passengers who have no other means of getting to their hospital or other health related appointments. Passengers generally make a donation towards the cost of the journey.

Passengers wishing to use the service should contact the Co-ordinator on 07786 430393 giving as much notice as possible of their intended journey.

 Minibus

BCA has a 17 seater community minibus (16 passengers plus driver) which is available for use by local charitable and voluntary groups. It costs £2.50 per mile to use the bus (as at March 2025).  BCA generally provides one of their own trained volunteer drivers, although some groups use their own trained drivers . Trips are very varied and range from weekly short journeys to local older people’s clubs, a weekly shopping trip and trips to places of interest.  The minibus is also used by Burnham Football Club and by other village groups and societies.  Regular trips currently include:

• Monday afternoons – Monday Club at Burnham Methodist Church
• Tuesday mornings – BHPT Luncheon Club
• Friday mornings – Shopping trip to large local supermarket
• Wednesdays – monthly trip for the Townswomen’s Guild

The bus has an automatic retractable electric side step, a wheel chair ramp and space for one wheel chair.

More information about the minibus from Alan Stillwell, Minibus Co-ordinator, on 07786 430393.
