Transport
If you have difficulty in getting, for instance, to a hospital appointment, SWAG may be able to help you. We have a team of about 24 volunteer drivers around the village who freely give their own time to help people out.
No charge is made for this service, although donations (small or large) are always welcome!

Drivers
SWAG needs volunteer drivers! We pay petrol (50p/mile) and we normally use a driver only once or twice per month.
If you would like to be a volunteer driver, there are three simple forms to be filled in, and there are some other documents that you might find helpful.
Forms and information for volunteer drivers: (PDF format) - (opens a new page in your browser)
Normally the insurance companies make no extra charge for volunteer driving. See the large table at the bottom of Association of British Insurers Volunteer Driving page or the more readable PDF file: Volunteer Driving – The Motor Insurance Commitment
Alternatively please contact us on 01590 681 500 for more details.
Maps and Directions
We provide each driver with a book of maps and parking details for all the local hospitals.
Our maps page includes a map of Sway and directions to clinics and surgeries that are not included in the book of maps.
