Bakewell & Eyam Community Transport (BECT), a not-for-profit charity (Reg Number 1049389) established in 1989, is based in Great Longstone. They are a trusted provider of flexible, safe and caring accessible transport services to the rural communities throughout the northern Derbyshire Dales and Hope Valley.
BECT have a fleet of accessible minibuses and over 70 drivers and support staff (who are full time, part time or relief and volunteers) and their primary objective is to establish and maintain, on a non-profit-making basis, a community transport scheme to improve the lives of ALL local people.
Their minibuses are instantly recognisable around the Derbyshire Dales and Hope Valley and BECT is a trusted provider of a wide range of transport services for everyone living in the rural communities in the area.
Their services include door to door trips including garden centres, shopping trips, lunch outings and summer specials. Not only does this offer a solution to the problem of accessing shops and services but it also provides a much needed social setting for those who experience the burden of social and rural isolation.
Their volunteer led car scheme provides individual, tailor-made journeys to health care appointments including hospitals, clinics, opticians and dentists. Allowing those who do not have access to public transport or where timetables are restricting, to access essential healthcare appointments.
BECT also offer flexible and affordable group transport options for local organisations and community groups.
