Volunteer to drive for KNA's beneficiaries who are Kew, TW9 residents. Our clients are generally older people (average age 82 years old) with mobility difficulties. We take people to medical and social appointments. Volunteering for KNA is very flexible. It can be for as little as half an hour a month or multiple times a week. It's entirely up to you. You only offer to do jobs when it suits you. KNA connects Kew residents who need a helping hand with volunteers who drive, shop, offer companionship or carry out light gardening.

Whilst we have a good number of Driving Volunteers - we like to spread volunteering over many people so that no one feels they are doing too much. Our drivers help people with limited mobility get to their medical appointments and go to their exercise , knit & stitch classes as well as hairdressing and chiropody appointments. By becoming a volunteer driver you can help someone stay connected within their community and get to important appointments.

Connecting and engaging with your local community in Kew through the people you help and through KNA's social events. Feeling good about providing a small amount of time that makes an enormous difference to local individuals. The role is extremely flexible. You only agree to doing a driving job when it suits you.

Volunteering for KNA is extremely flexible. It is designed to fit around you and your other commitments. We do ask for a minimum commitment of helping for six months as it costs money to carry out DBS checks and to onboard volunteers. A minimum of once or twice a month. Local driving jobs take around 20 minutes. Medical jobs to GP or hospitals will take longer depending on location. All hospital jobs are drop off only. Doctors appointments are wait and return taking around 20-30 minutes from door to doctor to back home again. As a KNA Driver you choose when and where suits you best.
