What is Wheels 4 U?

This is a voluntary car scheme designed to help Brockham residents who require assistance in getting to and from doctors, hospital and other essential appointments

Why Wheels 4 U?

We are operating this service because public transport is limited in this area. For example, the buse service from Brockham does not go to Dorking Hospital and East Surrey Hospital is a difficult journey by bus.

Who can use Wheels 4 U?

If you are unable to drive a car or use the bus easily then Wheels 4 U can help.

How does it work?

Simply phone the 07944 591717 Weekdays 10-12 noon. We find a volunteer driver. We phone you to tell you which driver will pick you up, take you to your appointment and take you home again.

What does it cost?

Wheels 4 U is a non profit making service that exists solely to help the community.

You pay any car park fees and we ask you for a donation towards the cost of your journey.

Some suggested donations for return journeys are:

Brockham Surgery £2.00
Dorking Hospital £3.50
East Surrey Hospital £6.00

 

Can I trust the Wheels 4 U driver?

YES you can. All our volunteer drivers have been vetted by the Wheels 4 U committee and have had some basic training to give you the best possible service. They are all volunteers and want to help you

Am I guaranteed transport?

We will do our best to arrange a driver but we rely on the goodwill of our volunteers and cannot guarantee 100% of the time to meet your requirements. There may be times when this is not possible.

Wheels 4 U has been supported by individual villagers and the following organisations:

Brockham Good Companions

Brockham Parish Council

Christ Church, Brockham Green

The Wednesday Club

Women's Institute

Surrey Community Action

SCC Community Support Team for Mole Valley

Bradford & Bingley

and especially all those volunteer Duty Officers and Drivers.

HOW TO USE WHEELS 4 U

1. Phone 07944 59 17 17 Monday to Friday between 10am and 12 noon at least 2 days before you need transport

2. Have all your details ready. Tell the Duty Officer when you need transport and how long your appointment is likely to be.

3. The Duty Officer will phone you back later that day to tell you who will be collecting you and at what time.

4. Our driver will give you an envelope to put a donation into, if you wish. Please seal and return the envelope to the driver who will pass it on to our Treasurer. Our drivers are not allowed to handle money.

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE

We are very sorry, but under the scheme we cannot take minor injuries to Casualty, or bring people home after hospital Day Surgery unless the doctor says that the person could travel by public transport. This is because our drivers are not trained in first aid or nursing and therefore are not equipped to deal with possible complications such as shock, fainting or haemorrhage.
