Toll Gavel Church Supporting Beverley Commuity Lift | Caring, voluntary transport service

News / Vacancies

On Sunday 8th December, Toll Gavel Methodist Church held an afternoon of entertainment and refreshments to raise funds for their nominated charity Beverley Community Lift.

The event was due to run alongside Beverley’s Festival of Christmas, alas, due to very adverse weather conditions, the outside market stall event was cancelled the day before. Toll Gavel volunteers and supporters, benefitting from an indoor venue and being made of sterner stuff, decided to continue with their plans and by combining sales of their Charity Christmas card to the amount raised on the day presented the charity with a cheque for over £500.

Sally Knapp & Elaine Turner, key organisers of the event, said “While the day may not have been quite as we intended, we are very proud of our volunteers, congregation, and members of the public for their support and delighted to give Beverley Community Lift this money.”

Fiona Wales, Manager of Beverley Community Lift, says:

"As a small, local charity we rely on help and support from the community, and every penny raised is always very gratefully received as it enables us continue to deliver our much needed services. The money from Toll Gavel Church will be added to our replacement minibus fund to help us provide shopping trips and outings for our passengers for many years to come.”

Beverley Community Lift remains committed to building a more inclusive and connected community, one ride at a time.

Charity Shop Volunteers Always Welcome

Do you know someone with a bit of spare time on their hands? Perhaps a student over the summer holidays, someone newly retired or someone who needs experience for gaining employment.

APPEAL TO LOCAL COMMUNITY TO HELP KEEP WHEELS TURNING

Beverley Community Lift (BCL) is appealing for urgent help from the East Yorkshire community as it works on a strategy to overcome the impact of EU transport rules that are threatening its financial stability.

Peta loves feeling part of the BCL team

We provide a hands-on, supported service, and go above and beyond to support you on every journey, unlike commercial services. As well as assisting our passengers throughout each trip, our minibus fleet can also provide wheelchair transportation for those who need it.

Looking for a new challenge?

We're looking for brave volunteers to take part in a charity Tandem Skydive on Saturday 16th June, and help us raise some much-needed funds.
