For each journey completed by our LINK drivers they are compensated from the charities funds at a rate of 45p per mile. The client is given a small brown envelope into which we hope a donation will be made. Donations are made anonymously.

Our range is dictated by client requests and driver availability. But here are some typical costs to the charity :

• Royal United Hospital, Bath - £10
• Bristol Royal Infirmary - £30
• Great Western Hospital, Swindon - £24

We carry clients to a lot more destinations than those mentioned above, but hopefully it shows how important donations are to enable us to continue offering this service.

If you are able and wish to donate to our charity there are a few ways to do this:

• If you would like to make a bank transfer, please contact a co-ordinator to get our BACS details.
• If you are happy using an online donations form we us a Zeffy facility which does not charge charities anything for transactions. They rely on "tips" which are optional with each donation.
  YOU CAN MAKE A DONATION HERE.

If you:

• Have received a medical appointment, and
• Cannot use public transport, and
• Do not have any other help you can call on (relative/neighbour/friend))

Then Corsham LINK is here for you!

Up until recently our on-call co-ordinator would have gathered your visit information over the phone (usually) or potentially via email. This information is required to make the whole experience as efficient as possible, as we try to ensure drivers pick you up on time at the right place. The information is retained incase you need the service again.

We are in the process of migrating existing records to an online database. This will make the process of requesting a lift much quicker.

The information we collect is as follows:

• Title (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms)
• Full Name
• Address
• Postcode
• Preferred telephone contact number
• Alternative telephone number (if you have one)
• Emergency/Urgent contact telehone number (including whether you are willing to share this)
• Your permission to store this information electronically (subject to the usual GDPR rules)
• Additional requirements for example:
  • Do you have your own walker or wheelchair?
  • Do you need to borrow a LINK wheelchair?
  • Do you need someone to accompany you?
  • Do you require a female driver?
  • Do you suffer travel sickness?
