Nailsea and District Community Transport is possible thanks to the support of the community and grants from trusts and other funders.
The ever-increasing increase of people needing our services, combined with increased costs and reduced funding from statutory bodies, means we are always keen to work with the wider community to gain your support and every day make a real and tangible difference in someone’s life.
