Leitrim Community Car scheme needs to raise funds to keep going

The Leitrim Community Car Scheme is appealing for donations to allow them to continue operating.

The scheme was set up in March last year to transport older people, people with disabilities, and families at risk to hospital appointments across the region.

They have completed over 340 trips to date and are now experiencing a high level of demand.

Manager of Leitrim Volunteer Centre, Josephine Stroker, says the Community Car Scheme will struggle to survive without the support of the public.

She's been talking to Anne Norris on the Let's Talk show this week.
