Yesterday Car & Away launched Karshare, their community fleet initiative, see their pledge site: www.karshare.com
With the help of Bristol residents they have implemented a fully managed service to provide roadworthy, clean and insured vehicles that the voluntary sector can use free of charge to maintain essential services for the vulnerable.
This initiative is already picking up media coverage (you may have seen it covered on Points West this morning) and donations i.e. residents gifting their car to be used for a week are coming through.
How can YOU help?
Please share this information with your work colleagues, your friends and family members so that those who can do without their car for a week can donate.
The week doesn't have to be immediately - it can be for a date in the coming weeks / months. The period of transport need across the voluntary sector to maintain vital services e.g. food and other essential goods delivery plus collection of donations will run for months given many of the vulnerable are now having to isolate for 12 weeks minimum.
Please do get in contact if you need more details on the scheme beyond what is available on the site. If you do communicate with your colleagues, please let them know.
