Many people in Buntingford,especially the elderly, and
others without access to a car, have great difficulty in
attending hospital appointments. They are not helped
by the inadequacy of public transport to hospitals
in Cambridge, Stevenage, Bishops Stortford, Harlow and
Welwyn Garden City. This is why B.A.S.H.volunteer
hospital drivers service was formed in 1973.
Would you be willing to help?
Q. What does BASH mean?
A. BASH stands for Buntingford Action for Social Help

of the Buntingford surgeries to enable them to attend
medical appointments at our local hospitals.

can spare some time to help.
Q. How do I become a driver?

Q. How committed would I be?
A. BASH drivers do 2 or 3 journey's a month but some only
do one occasionally; any help would be very welcome.
Q. Can I say 'NO' if I am busy?
A. Yes. BASH drivers only take on a drive if they can
spare the time
Q. I live in one of the villages, can I still be a driver?
A. Certainly. In fact we are looking for drivers who live
in the villages around Buntingford right now.
