Wyre Forest Dial-A-Ride, operating as Wyre Forest Community Transport (WFCT), provides door-to-door essential travel for several hundred people who are unable to drive or access public transport, due to disability, frailty, poverty or because there is none where they live. Driver Alan Wakefield, who has been a volunteer for 10 years, said he would “highly recommend” joining the team.
