Can We Collect and Deliver Your Shopping?

If getting to the shops regularly is a problem, we can help by collecting your shopping for you.

The Community Shopping Bus allows us to collect your pre-ordered shopping and deliver it to your door. You phone or email your order to us; we then pick the goods and deliver them to you. This means we can do several people’s shopping in one run which keeps costs down. Big shops like Tesco, Co-op and smaller local shops are included. The service is primarily for the elderly, infirm or people self-isolating, however we will help as many people and age groups as possible.

To use this service you will need to register with us, so if you or someone you know might be interested in being included, please let us know, and we will send out an application form with a pre-paid return envelope and full details of the service.

Currently, we’re able to offer this free of charge – we have received a specific grant to cover the transport costs – so you only need to pay for the shopping.

Want to use the Shoppa Shuttle Bus?

As with all our services the regular Shoppa Shuttles are for everyone, not just our older residents and people with special needs. Here at Llanwrtyd Wells Community Transport we recognise the need for local people to get out and about, and that our public transport system is limited.

Shoppa Shuttle Bus Schedule

• Llandrindod Wells each first Friday of the month
• Llandovery each second Friday of the month
• Brecon each third Friday of the month
• Builth Wells each fourth Friday of the month
• Fifth Friday of the month will be allocated by LWCT

We regularly pick up in Beulah, Cefn Gorwydd and Llangammarch areas, but we will serve all the communities between Cilmeri and Llanwrtyd Wells. We always use a wheelchair friendly vehicle, and the driver will help load your shopping on and off the bus. Driver qualifications for our drivers are detailed on the About Us page.

The transport cost is subsidised to help make it affordable for all. Please enquire for details. The current scale of charges are shown below.

Go Out With Us Somewhere Interesting for the Day?

We provide friendly day-trip outings to random places of interest, as suggested by our users. Our outings could be close to home, such as, one of the local garden centres, or the Elan Valley; or further afield to tourist attractions, like the seaside at Tenby, or the Walled Gardens at Presteigne. Please enquire for information about any planned outings already arranged or let us have your suggestions.

The cost of transport is subsidised. Please enquire for details. Meals, entry fees or tickets, are at your own cost.

Social outings are usually limited to 20 people in the group and advance bookings are essential. Please book early to secure your seat.

We do have wheelchair friendly vehicles. Driver qualifications for our drivers are detailed on the About Us page. To see some of the previous destinations for days out have a look at Community Transport News.

Community Transport Outings operate once a month during the summer months.

Do You Need To Hire A Mini-Bus?

Yes! We can hire one of our mini-buses to you, or more than one if needed. Either on a one-off basis or for regular community functions or events. Please contact us to discuss what we can arrange for you or your organisation.

You can drive the mini-bus yourself, subject to qualifications, or we can provide a driver for the mini-bus too. Driver qualifications for our drivers are detailed on the About Us page. See what one of our regular renters says about the service.

We do have wheelchair friendly vehicles. Mini-bus rental is available throughout the year.
