ABOUT

Manor Community Transport is a community organisation and registered C.I.O. operating in the Manor estate and surrounding areas of Sheffield offering support and specialised transport to disadvantaged, older people with disabilities and dementia in one of the most deprived areas of Sheffield.

The aim of Manor Community Transport is to provide a reliable, safe and affordable minibus transport service to help improve the quality of life for the people of this community who are affected by poverty and mobility issues, the majority of whom have no other means of transport available to them and without this service would be trapped within their own homes. The specialised transport service we provide enables those most at risk of isolation to attend day centres, lunch clubs, church groups and other events, helping them to live a happier and healthier old age, enabling them to stay active for longer. Furthermore many of the user groups who use our service for their members would be unable to operate without our transport provision.

Manor Community Transport currently operates with three 10 – seater minibuses, which are fully adapted and wheelchair accessible. We work in partnership with Sheffield Community Transport and South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive under a Service Level Agreement for which we receive funding towards our running costs. Sheffield Community Transport carry out regular safety checks and maintenance on all of our vehicles

Members of Darnall Dementia Group who use our service 3 times per week to take people with dementia to their day centre for lunch and entertainment have commented “I wouldn’t be able to get out if the bus didn’t come for me, when I was younger old people didn’t get help like this”, “the driver is marvellous” and “The bus is really good – we need help to get out”.

Furthermore this service enables the carers of these people valuable respite provision knowing that their loved ones are being cared for by professional clinical workers.

Some of the best comments come from family members. They have said they have seen a marked change in their loved ones outlook, to the point that some have started to use mobile phones and even laptops. Most of our customers were complete technophobes with a deep fear of new technology.

Latest News

We have recently secured funding via the Lottery Fund for 3 new minibuses, which are due to be delivered this summer.

The trustees of Manor Community Transport would like to thank Lisa Frazer for all of her hard work and dedication she has put in to get this grant. Without her, it would not have been possible for us to receive this funding. Thank you Lisa!

GET INVOLVED

Getting involved is so easy and there are many different ways you can support Manor Community Transport. Check out the options below:

Become a Supporter

We work in partnership with Sheffield Community Transport and South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive under a Service Level Agreement for which we receive funding towards our running costs. All other income is generated through small donations and funding, we do apply for larger grants, as year on year maintenance costs are continually rising due the constant wear and tear on already ageing vehicles. However the availability of such grants is being reduced these will often only fund new and unique projects. We are therefore seeking to raise £10,000 p.a. to cover day to day operational costs and ensure that the organisation can carry on providing a high quality service to the local community for many more years to come.

We have therefore created options for people to support this need from £2.00 per month up to £50.00 per month, so if you have a family member who benefits from our services or a local business wanting to give something back to the community there is a button for you. Furthermore if you are a UK tax payer we can claim Gift Aid on top of your donation
