Empowering Mobility in North Argyll

The North Argyll Volunteer Car Scheme is committed to bridging the transportation gap for individuals who face challenges with public transport or lack personal vehicles. Our mission is to provide a dependable and compassionate service, enabling access to essential appointments, social visits, and community events. With the support of our dedicated volunteers and generous funding, we strive to enhance the quality of life for adults who reside in the Community Council areas of Seil and Easdale, Luing, Kilninver and Kilmelford, Taynuilt, Glenorchy and Innishail, Avich and Kilchrenan.
