Individual
Membership
Membership is open to
anyone who is disabled (whatever age) and the elderly over the age of 70.
Self certification is all that is needed, there is normally no independent
evidence required. You will also need to reside in the areas covered by
either Bracknell Forest Borough Council or Wokingham Borough Council.
There is a lifetime membership fee of £1.00, which enables you to use our
Dial a Ride and Shopping services. Additionally there is an annual
subscription fee (as determined by the society) if members require access to
our other services by way of the monthly programme and bi-monthly newsletter,
also an invitation to our Annual General Meeting and the right to vote at the
Committee elections.
Group Membership
Membership is open to
any group which operates "not for profit". Our prime purpose
is to provide a service for those people unable to use other forms of
transport. It should be noted that under the Road Traffic Act 1985,
Section 19 entitles us to operate for hire or reward provided there is no
view to profit, nor incidentally to an activity which is itself carried on
with a view to profit. The running of a home for profit would be deemed
to be such an activity. We can provide transport for any group at your
home such as the "Friends of" or "Social Club" provided
they have no connection with the management of the for profit organisation.
No payment can be received from an organisation operating for profit - we
have no discretion over this - it is the law.
Your group must operate within,
or for residents of, Wokingham or Bracknell Forest Borough councils, but we
can travel anywhere outside these areas. There is a one off membership
fee of £5.00, which enables you to use our Contract service subject to
availability.
