North Norfolk Community Transport celebrates 25 years

North Norfolk Community Transport (NNCT) was officially registered as a charity on June 14, 2000, and helps residents travel to shops, medical appointments, and other locations.

To celebrate a quarter of a century in operation, the charity has given its passengers free "Dial-a-Ride" trips between June 16 and June 20.

The service collects people from their homes and provides wheelchair-accessible vehicles for medical appointments.

"North Norfolk is beautiful, but living in a rural place is often very lonely if you can't leave your home.

"Our passengers make new friends on the bus, so we also play a key role in tackling isolation."

The charity is largely funded by grants and donations, and Ms Bishop thanked everyone who has supported them over the years.
