NON-profit making community groups in Tenbury Wells now have access to the free use of a minibus.

Part of the ShareLINK, Worcestershire's vehicle sharing scheme, sports clubs, community groups and after school clubs can benefit from a range of days out including accessing leisure facilities, travelling to away games or visiting museums at minimal cost.

Annual membership is just £20, the only costs involved in hiring the 15-seater bus, which also has a tailgate for disabled access, is for petrol and arrangements have been made for members over 25 to take the minibus driver's assessment which they are obliged to undertake.

Training is also provided for volunteer drivers and journeys can be made within the district or further afield.

Anyone interested in joining ShareLINK should contact Vehicle Sharing Officer Chris Atkinson, on 01905 768461
