How you can help us.

Membership of LINK as a volunteer is open to anyone who wishes to help people in need as a "good neighbour".

We are a small charity and your support could make a huge difference.

You pick how much or little you do and you choose how and when you help
no fixed commitment for date or time.

Volunteer with Us

We are always looking for volunteers - both for taking calls and booking drivers and also for volunteer drivers.

If you are taking calls, you will be asked to work one shift in every 4 weeks. During your shift, you simply have to make yourself available from 0900 until 1300. You will be based from home and can carry on with your day as long as you can answer calls and assist our clients to find a driver.

Volunteer Drivers can work whenever they are free and we reimburse all petrol, parking and other expenses related to the trip. All we need from you is a well maintained and clean car, a smiling face and a kind and caring personality.


If you are interested in volunteering for LINK Oxted, please call 01883 713333 between 0900-1300 Monday to Friday
