Community Minibus
This fantastic community resource offers monthly shopping trips to Cheltenham on the first Wednesday of each month!
You will be collected from your doorstep at about 9am and dropped off in the centre of Cheltenham. You'll then have free time in Cheltenham, where you'll be picked up around 12.15 to be returned home.
The cost is only £4.50 per person for the return trip.
The comfortable minibus has 16 seats plus driver and can also accommodate 2 wheelchairs, with a rear electric wheelchair lift. The volunteer drivers are all MIDAS trained and the minibus is fully insured, serviced and maintained to a very high standard.
Contact Simon or Amy for details and booking: 01452 781055
or email villageminibus@gmail.com or fill out the booking form on the website www.villageminibus.co.uk

DEFRIBRILLATORS
There are now two defibrillators in Apperley - outside the front of Deerhurst & Apperley C of E Primary School and outside Apperley Cricket Club in School Lane. This is inside a yellow cabinet positioned on the Club's pavilion wall near the car park. It is very visible in daytime and at night it has a permanent light showing its location.
It is wonderful to have this potentially life saving facility available - but hope that they will never be needed !
