Groundwork North East“We hold the invaluable bus service close to our heart. It has changed so many lives to the elderly people who look forward to getting out of the village”
Sadberge Day Trippers“Many thanks for the generous gift we received from the “Our Community Matters” project team recently. It was such a lovely surprise and totally unexpected. Voluntary work brings rewards of its own, not least in making us feel that we are still contributing something to the communities we live in. Knowing it is appreciated by those who live and work in the communities is a real bonus! We hope that TVRA will continue to be able to offer it’s much needed support and assistance to these communities.”
Volunteer“Excellent friendly service from start to finish, easy to register and great value for money. The community use mini bus arrived at the agreed time and place and our volunteer driver (Alex) was amazing. I would highly recommend TVRA and we at Kids Kabin will certainly be using the service again” Sue McBride – Project Manager
