Devon Access to Services
DAS
Devon Access to Services works to improve accessibility by supporting and signposting individuals who may struggle to access essential services. Through partnership working, we conduct research, produce reports, and develop solutions to address transport and inclusion challenges. We also assist community initiatives with policies, procedures, volunteer recruitment, and training. Additionally, we collaborate with DCC and the NHS to provide volunteer car drivers with parking permits for NHS facilities, helping to support independence and social inclusion across Devon.
DAS and Community Car Schemes
Community Car Schemes provide essential transport to health and social appointments and DAS works with many schemes across Devon to facilitate meetings and share best practice, case studies and statistics. This work helps the schemes’ long term sustainability and raises the profile of their work across Devon with providers of health and social care.
