THE DRIVING FORCE

Patron: Dennis Canavan
 

 

Bonnybridge Driving Force was started by one of the Bonnybridge doctors, Bridget McCalister, who heard of a scheme in Lanarkshire where cancer patients had a free, personal service to take them to cancer appointments.

 
A group of volunteers met for the first time in April 2005. By January 2006 we were ready to start taking cancer sufferers from Bonnybridge to hospital.  In January 2008 we expanded to Denny, and changed our name to The Driving Force. By October 2010, when this website started, we had driven over 200,000 miles.

The Driving Force takes anyone who has cancer and is registered with a GP in Bonnybridge or Denny to hospital appointments for free.
