Funding & Support

We would like to thank everyone who support the work of Swindon Dial A Ride. As well as those who pay for our services and provide grants this includes volunteers who donate thousands of hours of their time each year and our suppliers, with a particular mention for Mike Allen Services who keep our vehicles in tip top condition and are always there when we have a problem and CATSS who provide our booking software.

Funding at Swindon Dial a Ride

Our income comes from passenger fares, vehicle hire, grants, donations and fees for training.  We receive grants from Wiltshire Council and Purton Parish Council to support the Dial A Ride service in their area and from Wiltshire Community Foundation to support the Volunteer Car service.

Swindon Dial A Ride does not receive any statutory funding.

Fundraising helps to pay for new vehicles.
