From your front step to the top of the shops - older people in East Dunbartonshire are being invited to take advantage of handy bus services.
East Dunbartonshire Community Transport (EDCT) organises trips for the over-60s to local shops and beyond.
All minibuses are fully accessible and can collect you from your own home - ideal if you are finding it difficult to use public transport. Carers can go along too.
In addition, EDCT provides low-cost, accessible minibuses for hire to non-profit-making groups. It is funded by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), with support from East Dunbartonshire Council.
EDCT is managed by Community Transport Glasgow, which as well as low-cost minibuses for hire, also offers training and garage services.
Councillor Alan Moir, Convener of Development and Regeneration, said, "I would encourage people to use these great transport services at the heart of their communities.
"EDCT can pick you up at your home and take you to and from the shops - you can also take along a carer if needed.
"It's a fantastic service and I would urge as many people and groups as possible to find out more. EDCT provides a range of valuable transport services in East Dunbartonshire - helping to keep non-profit community and voluntary groups moving.
"As an authority we are delighted to support EDCT and hope as many people as possible benefit as a result. Ensuring people have opportunities to get out and about - reducing isolation, improving inclusion and also helping the local economy - are all priorities."
