Mutual Aid-Minibus Society
What Is The Minibus Society?
During the pandemic, the Parish council/Minibus society and Village Fund established the Mutual Aid Organisation to provide help for those in need around the villages. This was undertaken by volunteers from the Minibus Society, and further volunteers using their own transport.
This continues and is currently providing a number of things:
Minibus trips
Most days there are trips from the villages to various destinations. At the end of this page is the phone number of the organiser of each trip if you wish to go.
Hospital Scheme
The Churchill and Langford Minibus Society now also run a Hospital Transport Scheme to assist people in getting to their hospital appointments.
