We are pleased to launch ‘Betty’s Community Transport’ Service from 1st October 2025. This service is to help support people in the community to gain access to transport from home to hospital appointments and then hospital to home. This has been a real gap since Tamworth Community Transport ended in June 2024, and the many requests we receive through either our helpline, social prescribers or via our Community Café support.
This will be a paid service based on mileage and include a standard £3 basic charge.
For example:
Tamworth address to Good Hope Hospital Return would be £15.00.
Tamworth to Burton Queens Hospital return would be £20.00
Our team of friendly drivers will collect and be with you on both journeys.
Bookings can be made by phoning FREEPHONEN 0800 175 4041 and bookings must be made 48 hours in advance.
Why Betty’s Community Transport?
Betty was a lady we supported for many years through our NHS Social Prescribing services. Betty worked for Midland Red as a Conductor for 40 years and we pledged to Betty that we would honour her in some way after she had passed to mark her legacy as she had no immediate family left. So this service is personal to us and we hope personalised to you too.
Training and Support
All our drivers are DBS Checked along with receiving Patient to Care training, and Level 1 Safeguarding.
