Transport options in Winslow
Winslow is served by regular buses, taxi services (and soon trains!) but these do not necessarily provide what Winslow Residents require. Listed below are transport options that are available to Winslow Residents via schemes organised by the Winslow Big Society or alternative organisations. The wheelchair car service also operates for those in the surrounding villages.

Winslow Wheelchair Vehicle for wheelchair users
Below is a quote from one of our satisfied users..
"She enjoyed it enormously, and it has made a great difference to her. She needed encouragement to go out, but now she has taken the plunge she would love to go again. it was a great success!"
"I used the wheelchair car service to help a 102 year old friend visit a garden centre. As she has limited mobility she had been unable to go out for over a year, and was feeling very frustrated, but also worried about the trip. It worked out brilliantly, it was easy to get her in her wheelchair into the vehicle, and we had a lovely time going around the garden centre and lunching in the cafe. She was absolutely delighted to be out and about, and we will be going again. This is a marvellous service, with friendly and helpful drivers making the trip relaxing and affordable, and hugely improving the quality of life of many vulnerable people in the area."
