Description

Fares4Free is a charity that asks taxi drivers and companies to give free fares to help veterans and their families to access  essential services and combat social isolation.  Sometimes the first step to beating loneliness and isolation is a friendly face and a lift.  The service is much more than simply transportation with the core F4F team however, and most of F4F associate drivers are specially trained to understand and support the needs of vulnerable veterans.

F4F acts informally as a central hub to coordinate support between veteran support organisations and to cross refer veterans to the organisations best placed to support them.  In addition to ASDIC Drop-Ins, we work with organisations like the Veterans Community at the Kings Centre, a Drop-In cafe at Motherwell (VC@KC), Falkirk and Grangemouth Veterans Drop-In and many Breakfast Clubs.  So if you would like us to support your Drop-In in some way, get in touch and we will see what we can do.

We support the following Drop-Ins:

Lothians Veterans Centre (Dalkeith), Community Veterans Support (The Coming Home Centre, Glasgow), SSAFA – Glasgow’s Helping Heroes, First Light Trust (Hawick)
