Volunteer Car Scheme alterations from 2025

Please note some changes have been applied to the scheme, which started on Monday 21st January 2013, and has been running consistently since then, providing a weekday service for the residents of the parish of Scotter, which includes Scotterthorpe & Susworth, and those living in Scotton, Northorpe and Blyton with a link to Kirton and Scotter surgeries.

People can book travel to Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Hull, and Lincoln hospitals,* both surgeries, opticians and dentists. Prescriptions can be delivered and over eighty-five’s may be transported to their hairdressers. Included within the scheme are community activities and covid /flu jabs
* Longer journeys may be possible but would need to be discussed with an administrator.
