Malcolm started as a volunteer whilst still at school, helping his father Terry who was our original Shopping Shuttle driver in the 1990s.

Three drivers by a bus

Driver team

Wandsworth Community Transport have approximately 40 drivers on their books (including  volunteers) who do the backbone of the work and make it all happen. Many started as volunteers and share that ethos of caring about people and wanting to help. They are much loved and appreciated by all our passengers and groups, and they make our services so much more than just a way of getting from A to B. Like Manuel, many have been with us for more than 20 years, and that tells quite a story in its own right. Of course we always need more, so anyone interested please see the volunteering page. They have all completed their MiDAS driver training and FORS safety awareness training.
