Dementia Canterbury runs several different Activity Groups throughout Greymouth and needs Drivers who are able to transport Clients to and from those groups. Unfortunately transport is a major barrier for many of our clients who would like to attend our activity groups.

Commitment can range from a couple of hours a week to a few hours a month depending on your availability and the number of clients requiring transport.
