New assisted shopping bus service on offer in Horsham, Crawley and surrounding area

The charity is the key provider of assisted transport for the more vulnerable in the Sussex community.

It is now offering a new assisted, door-to-door shopping bus service which exceeds the Government guidelines of social distancing for passengers, a spokesman for the charity said. Vehicles are fully sanitized between each run.

Drivers will wear appropriate PPE and use appropriate social distancing with passengers.

He added: “Our aim is to reconnect with our members and potential new members who wish to use our convenient and easy door to door pick up service.

“All passengers will be required to wear a mask, unless they are medically exempt, whilst on the bus. Passenger numbers will be limited on buses to ensure that appropriate social distancing is possible.”

The accessible shopping bus will run on various days to Horsham, Crawley and surrounding areas.

Registration to travel with us is free, the charity said. The spokesman added: “Our service is available for anyone who has difficulty accessing mainstream transport – all of our vehicles are wheelchair accessible.”
