The Driving Force is a group of local volunteers who work together to fundraise, co-ordinate journeys and drive cancer patients to and from hospital appointments and treatment sessions.
This service is available to patients with cancer registered with a GP in Bonnybridge or Denny.
Hospital transport takes many patients in the same vehicle so people have a long, slow journey. They have to wait until everyone has been seen before they can go home and can be out of the house most of the day, at a time when they are not well. There is not always room for a carer or friend to accompany them.
People who travel with us have a much quicker, more comfortable journey, can go home when they are ready and will be able to take a friend if they wish. Our drivers 'know the ropes' and provide valuable reassurance.
We aim to provide a free, friendly and reliable means of getting to and from hospital, and to make the experience as pleasant and stress-free as possible.
Any cancer patient registered at Bonnybridge Health Centre, Banknock, Denny Cross, or Carronbank Health Centre can ask us for help.
