One driver, Glen Canty, has been working for People to Places for almost 20 years and during that time he has developed a friendship with residents including 86-year-old Grace, who visits the adult day centre Elizabeth House in Cookham every week.

“One of the most humbling things I see day-in, day-out is the phenomenal dedication and commitment from our people to provide the best possible service we can day after day,” said Peter Haley, CEO of People to Places.

As we approached midday, we pick up a couple who have been attending sessions at

SportsAble, a charity which gets disabled people involved in sports, for the last few years.

“We have three key mobility services that we offer at People to Places and these can be accessed by RBWM residents who are unable to use public transport due to disability, illness, vulnerability or social isolation,” said Jaimee.

As the morning drew to a close we were joined by six residents on their way to a lunch club, a weekly activity that sees the group bond over guessing what meal they’ll be served and updating on each other’s lives.

Jaimee smiled as she said this is so much more than a bus service.
