Drivers needed
DART is a registered charity and provides all services, which include an individual door to door (Dial-A-Lift) transport service as well as a group travel option for community groups in the Craigavon & Banbridge areas on a non-profit basis.
Volunteer drivers can expect to drive either DART vehicles or their own private car.
Most journeys are local but some can be further afield.

Hide AdVolunteer drivers can give as much or as little time as they like.
Some volunteers do several journeys a week, others help out as and when they can.
For example offering a minimum of one day per week could make a real impact on the lives of local people.
You will receive an HMRC mileage allowance.
In some instances volunteers will even be reimbursed for meals and refreshments on long journeys.

So if you enjoy driving, have some spare time and wish to make a real difference to the lives of others in your local community then you are just the person DART is looking for.
DART is holding a volunteer recruitment and open day on Monday, April 2, from 10am–3pm.
The event will take place in the DART premises at 37 High Street, Lurgan.
