ACES provides a transport service. We wish to replace our current Mini Bus which has been in use for over 10 years with a new one.

Transport is a key part of our services and is an important part of the day. Good quality transport and a safe and pleasant journey to the centre is a vital part of our day service. It enables our users who are frail or disabled to participate in community events and to get out and about. The transport service helps to improve the quality of life for people living alone and who are disadvantaged.

1. Empowers older people through support. 2. Enables choice. 3. It values older people by encouraging their aspirations. 4. Creates Communtity participation and independence. 5. promotes well-being. 7. Reduces demand to other services. 8. Promotes independence to stay living at home. 9. Maintains quality of life and reduces stress. To purchase a new mini bus would mean that the resources being used to repair and maintain our current mini bus could be used in other ways to enhance services.
