About Us.....
Bakewell & Eyam Community Transport is a not-for-profit charity established in 1989, based in Great Longstone. We are a trusted provider of flexible, safe and caring accessible transport services to the rural communities throughout the northern Derbyshire Dales and Hope Valley.
​
With a fleet of accessible minibuses and over 70 drivers and support staff (who are full time, part time or relief and volunteers). Our primary objective is to establish and maintain, on a non-profit-making basis, a community transport scheme to improve the lives of ALL local people.
Our minibuses are instantly recognisable around the Derbyshire Dales and Hope Valley and we are a trusted provider of a wide range of transport services for everyone living in the rural communities in the area.
Our services include door to door trips including garden centres, shopping trips, lunch outings and summer specials. Not only does this offer a solution to the problem of accessing shops and services but it also provides a much needed social setting for those who experience the burden of social and rural isolation.
Our volunteer led car scheme provides individual, tailor-made journeys to health care appointments including hospitals, clinics, opticians and dentists. Allowing those who do not have access to public transport or where timetables are restricting, to access essential healthcare appointments.
​
We also offer flexible and affordable group transport options for local organisations and community groups.
All our services aim to allow individuals to lead a fulfilling life, maintain their independence, participate in the community and access healthcare provisions.
We fulfil contract transport services for Derbyshire County Council, High Peak Borough Council, Peak District National Park Authority and the NHS and many others to deliver school transport and adult care transport services for all.
