Introduction to BSCTC

Badenoch and Strathspey Community Transport Company (BSCTC) is a Charitable Organisation which assists people with local transport needs. People are then able to travel and participate in activities of their choice. Our trained volunteers can co-ordinate and arrange appropriate transport. Unlike pubic transport, We aim to meet people's individual needs.

BSCTC offers the following services:

• Community Car Scheme: A voluntary car scheme with volunteer drivers using their own cars. Registered clients may book a journey and volunteer telephonists access a driver for the client.

• Telephonists Training Program (under car scheme): A scheme devised to help people improve their skills, raise their confidence and assist them and could even assist them in gaining employment.

• Aviemore Shopping Project: A weekly door to door shopping scheme for people with a transport or mobility problem. This project helps people to maintain their independence.

• Aviemore Shop Easy Project (electric buggies): A shop mobility type project enabling people to be more independent.

• Glenmore Buggy Project (Partnership Project with Forestry Commission): Electric buggies available to enable mobility impaired people to have the same opportunities as able bodied people.

• Community Vehicle (also wheelchair accessible): Seven seater community vehicle (MPV) available to community groups and individual outings.

• All training for volunteers for above projects: Full training program for volunteers to enable them to carry out their duties in a confident and professional manner. Commercial training as required (transport related): Available to any group or individual.

• Wheelchair loan scheme: Available on short-term loan. Kids cycle loan scheme for schools: 6 childrens' cycles available to local schools that are participating in cycling proficiency schemes.
