About Door2Door
Door2Door is available 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday for residents across the Newark and Sherwood district who struggle to access or use public transport. Journeys can be used to visit friends, attend social activities, regular medical appointments; such as doctors and opticians, or maybe just to go shopping. Volunteer drivers use their own vehicle to collect Door2Door members from their home address and ensure they get home again safely. All Door2Door volunteers have been DBS checked and received full training. We provide transport for disabled people, people with long term conditions, vulnerable older people and those often isolated and in rural communities.

Donate
For over 25 years Door2Door has helped residents of Newark and Sherwood maintain their independence, remain active in their community and access the healthcare they need. This has only been made possible thanks to generous support from Nottinghamshire County Council, the NHS and The National Lottery Community Fund. We rely on donations and grants to maintain the service for Door2Door members.
