Care was founded nearly 20 years ago and has gone from strength to strength helping the people of Chipperfield who, for a varied number of reasons, are not able to drive themselves to the doctors or to other appointments.
We are all volunteers who give our time and help willingly in order to make life easier for others who without us would find life difficult and expensive to get around.
We do, however, have to make a nominal charge to cover the ever increasing cost of petrol and diesel, for although our time and help is free, our cars cost money to run.
So, below is set out the current costs of transport to various locations. All charges are usually for a return journey, taking you to your appointment and returning you to your own home.
Hospital visits
Watford General and Hemel Hempstead £ 5; St Albans – £7;
Harpenden, Amersham, Bushey & Harefield – £10
Surgery visits
Bovingdon and Kings Langley £ 1.50
We will always do our very best to accommodate other journeys if needed.
The Chipperfield Care telephone number is 01923 264700, and on calling this number you will hear a recorded message giving you the number of that days Duty Officer. Their hours are 9.30am to 1.30pm Monday to Friday.
If you feel that you could help Care by becoming a volunteer, please contact us, we would be delighted to hear from you.
