Community schemes are a lifeline for people who can’t easily use public transport — especially older adults, disabled people, and those living in rural areas. Volunteers drive passengers to medical appointments, shops, and essential services, helping them stay independent and connected.
Via is the simple, secure platform that makes running these schemes far easier. It helps organisers:
• Find volunteers quickly
• Coordinate operations smoothly
• Get automatic reminders and notifications
• Track DBS/insurance expiry
• Manage finances with less admin
• Access useful stats for funding bids
Via supports thousands of journeys every month and is free for small schemes.
It’s built by Community Sparx CIC, a Cambridge‑based social enterprise run by volunteer drivers who reinvest every penny back into communities.
