We have a fully accessible minibus and friendly drivers to help disabled people in our community get around.
The purpose of Miles and Smiles is to help our disabled community get around, including those who may have difficulty using taxis, cars or public transport. Our fully accessible minibus will enable passengers to attend their appointments and access local services safely and reliably. When joining, our co-ordinator will ask you questions about accessibility and your requirements to ensure our scheme is the best service for you. We work in partnership with Swale CVS Volunteer Transport Scheme, who have volunteer drivers to take people medical appointments using their own vehicles.
A contribution towards the cost of expenses will be charged. We will inform you of this cost at the time of booking.
We have a tail lift for wheelchair users, space for an escort/carer. Passengers can choose to stay in their wheelchair or transfer out of this to a comfortable chair.
Our minibus can take you to appointments or services both on or off the Isle Of Sheppey.
