KDVCS: Stuck in a transport desert? Here’s what one community is doing about it

What would you do if you lived in a transport desert? Well, in this episode of The Givey Community you'll be able to hear about how a local community is trying to tackle that exact problem. Listen to the volunteers and passengers from The Killin and District Volunteer Car Scheme, based in the Scottish Highlands.

KDVCS drives the residents of Killin and District who struggle with accessing public transport to and from hospital appointments (most about 60 miles away) and to activities that help boost well-being and combat isolation. Click here to donate.
