We understand how important it is for residents to stay connected with their local community and enjoy the freedom of exploring the beautiful surroundings of Merchiston, Midlothian. That’s why we provide a dedicated private minibus service that takes residents out and about, offering safe, comfortable, and convenient transport for a wide range of outings and appointments.

Our minibus is not just a vehicle—it’s a gateway to adventure and social connection. Whether it’s a trip to local shops, visits to nearby parks and cultural attractions, or outings to community events, our transport service helps residents maintain their independence and enjoy new experiences with confidence and ease.

Comfortable, Safe, and Accessible Travel

Our minibus has been carefully selected and adapted to meet the needs of older adults, offering spacious seating, easy access, and safety features that ensure every journey is comfortable and secure. Our trained staff accompany all outings to provide support and assistance, guaranteeing peace of mind for residents and their families.

The service is flexible and responsive to residents’ interests and needs, with trips planned regularly and tailored to provide an enriching and enjoyable experience. We prioritise accessibility to ensure that all residents, including those with mobility aids, can travel with ease and dignity.

Encouraging Community Engagement and Wellbeing

Regular outings in our private transport help residents stay active, socially engaged, and connected with their surroundings. These excursions offer a refreshing change of scenery, stimulating the senses and encouraging physical movement, whether a gentle stroll in the park or a visit to local shops and cafes.

By facilitating easy access to the local community, our minibus service supports emotional health, combats feelings of isolation, and enriches residents’ lives with meaningful experiences. Family and friends are also welcome to join certain outings, making these trips wonderful opportunities for shared memories and connections.
