We are putting the call out for any volunteers who would be available to help deliver these food boxes on either the 22nd or 23rd of December between 7:30am and 2pm. No driving experience required, you just need to be physically fit enough to carry the boxes.

💚🚐 LCTS is proud to reflect on the message that Community Transport is 'More than a Minibus' as we continue to celebrate Community Transport Week 2025 💚🚐

We recently attended the Community Transport Association’s parliamentary reception at Holyrood, joining others from across Scotland to highlight the vital role Community Transport plays in keeping people connected.

At LCTS, we see every day how accessible, inclusive transport supports and strengthens our communities — powered by our incredible staff, volunteers, and partners.

Together, we’re proving it really is

Continuing the theme of 'More than a Minibus' for this year's Community Transport week, we wanted to remind everyone that here at LCTS we collect medicine blister packs for recycling.

Last year we responded to local demand, as a commitment to our sustainability goals and supporting our local communities. Since then we have had an amazing and ongoing response! Blister packs can either be handed in to one of our offices or given to an LCTS driver on any of our minibuses.

LCTS were thrilled to get a shout out for our Women's Night Bus project from Jim Fairlie, MSP for Community Transport. We really appreciate the support from all our members in helping us really deliver the Community Transport Week theme this year, "More than a Minibus" - we couldn't do it without you!

🚐💚 It’s Community Transport Week 2025! 💚🚐

This week, we’re joining communities across the UK to celebrate Community Transport Week — a time to recognise the amazing people that keep our communities connected.

This year’s theme, “More Than a Minibus,” reminds us that community transport is more than just getting from A to B - it's about people. From our drivers, volunteers and coordinators to the passengers who rely on our services, every journey helps someone stay independent, meet friends, and take part in community life.

So follow along, share your experiences, and help us celebrate what makes community transport truly special.
