We offer a range of services designed to support wellbeing, independence, and social connection for people living in Machynlleth and the surrounding areas.
These transport schemes help ensure that living in a rural area does not limit independence or access to services.
Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to transport people who do not have access to suitable transport. This service is primarily for health-related appointments, such as hospital and surgery visits, eye tests, and other essential well being journeys. We need at least 2 working days notice of your appointment. We will then arrange for one of our volunteer drivers to pick you up, take you to your destination and bring you home again. Community Car journeys are costed at 45 pence per mile.
From foot care to mental health support, we offer services that nurture the whole person.
Run by trained volunteers, the clinic provides basic foot care, nail cutting, and advice on suitable footwear. Healthy feet help reduce the risk of falls and mobility problems.
