About our business
Driving you to doctors, hospitals, dentists & opticians since 1974
Started in 1974, we are a group of volunteers that give our spare time and use our own vehicles to take people from Mortimer and surrounding villages to and from their medical and dental appointments - doctors, dentists, opticians, hospitals, clinics, scans, blood tests and anything medical - just asking for a small donation to cover our modest office costs and driver fuel. Although the majority of trips are in the local area, we can sometimes take residents to medical appointments as far afield as Basingstoke, Swindon, Oxford, Windsor, Frimley Park and beyond.
If you or your loved ones need transport to a medical appointment, call our friendly office volunteers to arrange a driver. You can leave a message and they’re very good at calling you back.
We always need more volunteer drivers, so if you have a few hours to spare Monday to Friday daytimes please get in touch - it doesn't have to be a particular day or time, and we’re very grateful for any time you can give us.
See our website https://bmvb.org/ for more details. Call 0118 983 1814 and leave a message or email [email protected].

General rates
We are a Non Profit organisation run by unpaid volunteers and funded by your donations. We ask for a small donation for each return journey to cover our modest running costs and the drivers’ fuel. We suggest a minimum of £5 for local surgeries etc, £15 for Royal Berks or West Berks Hospitals, £45 for the Oxford or Swindon Hospitals and 60p per mile for anything further afield. Much cheaper than a taxi each way!
Services provided
We are a Non Profit organisation that is open to all of our community, providing transport to doctors, hospitals, dentists, opticians and any other medical appointments for those who would otherwise find it difficult to get there, whether due to age, rural location, lack of nearby family, illness or injury.
We cover a much bigger area than just Burghfield and Mortimer, and we can help if you live in the area shown on the map including Aldermaston, Beech Hill, Burghfield, Grazeley, Mortimer, Mortimer West End, Padworth, Pamber Heath, Silchester, Sulhamstead, Stratfield Saye, Ufton Nervet and Wokefield.

You don't have to be disabled to use our services, but we do take a lot of disabled and less mobile people to their appointments. All we ask is that you’re physically able to get into the car, and in and out of the wheelchair if you use one. If you are more severely disabled, sadly we must ask you to make other arrangements such as Hospital Transport.
Most of our volunteer drivers can accommodate a folding walker or wheelchair in the boot of their car, but please mention this to the office when you make your booking.
And you can bring a carer or friend with you as well if you like.
