Welcome To The Brecon Dial-A-Ride Homepage

A surprising number of people are unaware that

Dial-A-Ride is a Charity providing a door to door wheelchair accessible service, receives 6.1% of it's financial support from the Local Authority

 

In 2022 we celebrated 45 years of dependable, trustworthy service to the people of Brecon & surrounding areas.

 

In 2019 our fleet of 7 wheelchair accessible minibuses travelled an amazing 64,073 miles - almost 3 times around the world!

 

We carried 17, 364 passengers, making 7,956 trips of which, 1946 were accessible tail lift users.

 

54% of our members are over the age of 80! 

 

Many of the villages and areas that we service are so rural,  that our members simply do not have any public transport options available to them whatsoever.

 

This makes Dial-A-Ride an essential lifeline to various amenities such as shops, hairdressers, medical facilities, & essentially to meet up with their social circle of friends.

 

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic we continued to operate a limited service to our local community, by offering a collection and delivery service of prescriptions.

 

 

We shopped for some disabled members who were not able to get out to the shops themselves, and we supported

Brecon Foodbank 

by delivering the essential food items needed by local residents and families each week.

News

During November 2019 we became a permanent fixture on The Struet in Brecon town centre — opening our very own charity shop!              

 

This has been a tremendous success to date, but more importantly it provides a special opportunity to further raise the profile of Dial-A-Ride by offering a face to face opportunity to inform visitors of our services.

 

We moved the Charity shop to larger more visable premises on the corner of Castle street and The Struet, raising much needed funds to invest in the Dial-A-Ride service covering Brecon, Talgarth, Crickhowell and Sennybridge and the surrounding villages.
