Detailed description

Change people’s lives by volunteering with Community Connexions.


Enable our vulnerable customers to

  • visit loved ones
  • attend therapy sessions
  • simply go shopping


Your volunteer driving is vital for helping people retain their independence and tackle loneliness from social and rural isolation.


Give as little or as much time as you can, some volunteers are almost full time, some offer a few half days a month. Our helpers are from all walks of life.


Meet new people and develop new skills whilst helping the most vulnerable people in your community.


Always looking in Cheltenham but you can choose where you drive from any of the following;- Tetbury, Stroud, Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Dursley, Cirencester and all points in between.


Your support for the most vulnerable people living in your area will make a huge difference in their lives.


We cover expenses. Training and support is provided.
