It’s great Fermanagh Community Transport Ltd is now an accredited Living Wage Employer, committed to paying a wage based on the cost of living to all their staff. Charities cannot be expected to run on the goodwill of their staff.

FCT urgently needs new volunteers who will join our incredible volunteer social car driver team. This team plays a vital role in helping us help those who do not have access to public transport or to private transport to get to hospital, health & wellbeing appointments.

RCTPs make around 200,000 journeys per year, with 91% of Dial-a-lift passengers being disabled and/or older people.
These services ensure disabled passengers attend GP/health appointments, hospital appointments (within area), attend day centre opportunities, shopping, visit friends and family, post office/banking, training or local employment, and provide vital links to the public transport network.

*The @deptinfra decision extend Dial-A-Lift funding for one month causes us great concern about the future of this lifeline service.
The figures below speak for themselves. This will affect jobs, families, elderly, disabled and vulnerable within Northern Ireland.

Any decision to🔻or ❌DfI Rural Dial a Lift funding will represent an assault on the most vulnerable in our society - the rural elderly and disabled. The direct & indirect impact in human, social and financial terms will be catastrophic. 75% of Fermanagh's population is rural!

WATCH: Funding for community transport in #NorthernIreland has been under threat for the past few years.
@TheDetailTV highlights the story of Mark, young Carla, and the devastating impact on millions of people if funding is discontinued. #SaveOurCT

In icy weather, you must be able to see.
Make sure your windscreen is completely clear or your vision will be obscured, endangering you & other road users.
Make sure the mirrors are clear & windows are de-misted thoroughly before starting your journey.
