Opening/Office Hours: 9am - 4pm Monday to Friday.

Areas Covered: All of Anglesey. The scheme is mainly for people living in rural areas where public transport services are scarce, but also for those whose health or mobility makes it difficult to use public transport in rural areas. It’s also for people who need companionship support to attend clubs, go shopping or just sit in a café together, or go for a walk.

Eligibility criteria: Car Linc Môn is a service available to Anglesey residents for essential journeys/support and where there is no other suitable transport available. It is the responsibility of Medrwn Môn to determine whether a specific journey is valid, but the checklist below gives some guidance as to the criteria needed to use the service: -

• Does the passenger have access to any private transport, e.g. do they own a car?
• Is there any public transport that the passenger could use?
• Can the passenger change the time of the journey in order to use another way of travel?
• Can the passenger use the Ambulance Car Service?
• Is it reasonable for the passenger to hire a taxi for the journey?
• Is it reasonable for the passenger to avoid making the journey altogether?

If the answer to any of the above questions is YES - then the journey would not usually be permitted.

Type of Vehicles: Volunteers own vehicle (may be 2 or 4/5 door).

Charging Policy: An estimate of cost, and the method of payment will have been arranged prior to the journey, along with any other arrangements, e.g. return time, whether an escort is required, and whether the service user has a Blue Badge.

Minimum notice required for journey: At least 3 days’ notice.

The Seiriol Good Turn Scheme is based on the principle of volunteers doing “good turns” to help individuals, families, or groups with identified needs who live in the Seiriol Area. The Seiriol Area includes Beaumaris, Llandegfan, Llansadwrn, Llanddona, Llangoed, Llanfaes, and Penmon.

The Scheme provides a number of services, including community transport:

• taking clients to their GP surgery, hospital, and other appointments
• taking clients shopping or on other activities
• undertaking shopping, prescription, and library book deliveries

The community transport services are provided by volunteers. We have 3 types of vehicles:

• 17 seater minibus
• Wheelchair-accessible 7 seater all-electric Nissan e-NV200 people carrier
• Volunteer-owned private cars

Transport can be provided 7 days a week as needed, dependent on the availability of volunteers.

To obtain any service including community transport you need to register with the Scheme. Registration is free and doesn’t commit you to using the scheme any more than you want to.

Telephone: (01248) 305 014 Line open from 9.00 am - 5.00 pm Monday to Friday

The Seiriol Good Turn Scheme is run by the Seiriol Alliance. The Alliance is a wholly volunteer-run organisation serving the communities in the Seiriol Area, and is strictly not-for-profit. However, in order for the Seiriol Good Turn Scheme to run, we have to make a charge for community transport, to cover volunteer, vehicle and administrative expenses.

Organisation Enquiries

Enquiries regarding the use and availability of the 17 seater minibus and 7 seater people carrier are also welcome from local community organisations. Both vehicles are based at Canolfan Hamdden Beaumaris and further information can be obtained by:
