MY elderly mother has started using Trans-Vol, a transport scheme which provides services for the elderly and disabled people who live within Thurrock.

I cannot speak highly enough of this service, it’s fantastic.

My mother and her friends have found a new lease of life since they joined this year, they go out for Sunday lunches and meet new friends, they have been on seaside trips and it has given them their independence back.

Thank you for making my mother enjoy her life again.
