Drive Out Loneliness – Our New Fundraiser
Together, we can ensure no one is left behind with reliable, accessible transport!
What is this campaign?
From 25th September to 9th October 2025, we’re raising £12,000 to fund accessible transport for isolated people across Kent.
Right now, many in our community are stuck at home unable to see loved ones, attend hospital appointments, or even buy groceries because of age, disability, or low income.
You can change that.
During this campaign, your donation could be the reason someone reconnects with their family or gets the care they need.
Your donation could be the reason someone is able to attend a vital hospital appointment, buy more affordable groceries from local supermarkets, or spend an afternoon with their loved ones.
You could change someone’s life by helping us Drive Out Loneliness.
Why does accessible transport matter?
Across England, millions face daily loneliness and isolation:
- Approximately 270,000 older people aged 65+ in England go a whole week without speaking
to anyone - Disabled people make 38% fewer journeys because of inaccessible travel options
- Approximately 3.1 million people in England say they always or often feel lonely, and it’s getting worse.
This needs to change, and you can help us change it!
Our accessible transport service helps break those barriers bringing people back into their
communities, to loved ones, to the places they need to go.
“With Compaid’s bus, I can buy food from Sainsbury’s for my husband and I.
I am his full time carer, but I can’t drive because my eyesight is poor and there are no shops near where we live.
I look forward to Wednesdays when Compaid’s bus arrives. It’s also a great outlet for me to get out of the house. The bus is very enjoyable, and the driver is always kind.”
When is the campaign?
Our ‘Drive Out Loneliness’ campaign is from Thursday 25th September – Thursday 9th October 2025.
We will have a live JustGiving page open during those weeks for you to donate to help us reach our £12,000
goal, share the page and our posts with your friends, and support people like Olga to reconnect with their
communities and keep our vital service going.
Until then, like, share, and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to stay up to date with our
campaign news and everything we do!
Let’s ‘Drive Out Loneliness’ together!
