Jersey Community Transport is looking for new volunteer board members after 24 islanders responded to its appeal for volunteer drivers in just a few weeks.
The organisation which was founded in 2025, helps charities and community groups share vehicles to make transport more accessible, is now looking to strengthen its board as it prepares for the next stage of its growth.
Jersey Community Transport (JCT) is holding an informal drop-in session on Thursday 12 November at Santander Work Café on King Street between noon and 2pm, to meet people interested in getting involved.
No appointment is needed to attend and Islanders interested are invited to drop in and get more information.
JCT helps community groups and charities provide transport for people travelling to appointments, taking part in activities or enjoying days out.
By sharing vehicles, organisations can get more people out and about without the expense of buying and maintaining their own minibuses.
Following the positive response to its driver recruitment appeal, JCT is now looking for volunteers to help with the planning, governance and day-to-day running of the organisation.
People with experience in HR, finance or fundraising would be particularly welcome, although previous board experience is not essential.
Alan Le Pavoux, Chair of Jersey Community Transport, said: “The response to our driver appeal shows how much islanders care about keeping people connected.
“Now we need a few more people around the board table to help us make the most of it.”
Anyone unable to attend the drop-in can find out more by emailing pauline@jct.org.je.
