About

Oxted & District LINK Association (LINK) is an independent charity founded in 1974 that provides community transport service to people in need, who live in the RH8 area.

What We Do

LINK can arrange for transport for those – regardless of age – who otherwise would not be able to get to health-related appointments at facilities such as hospitals, health centres, dentists, opticians and physiotherapists or occupational therapists etc.

LINK makes no charge for this service, but relies on voluntary donations from those it can help. These donations go towards covering its costs.

Who is eligible to use LINK

LINK is generally used by people who are unable to use public transport to get to their essential appointments.

You must live primarily in RH8 postcode area*, but can travel out of the area to appointments in other postcodes (e.g. to Redhill/East Surrey Hospital etc).

*RH8 postcode incorporates Oxted, Hurst Green, Limpsfield, Limpsfield Chart, Tandridge.

How to contact us

If you need help from LINK, please call our telephone volunteers on 01883 713333, giving as much notice as you can for your appointment so we can do our best to arrange transport for you.

Volunteers are able to take calls between 0900 – 1300 Monday – Friday (NB. journey times can be outside of these hours).

Calling all potential volunteers!

It would not be possible to provide this essential service without the invaluable help of volunteers – especially as LINK employs no paid staff in any capacity.
 
If you or anyone you know would be interested in joining the LINK volunteer group as a driver, or as a telephone volunteer – the person who takes the calls and passes these to the driver – please call 01883 713333 between 0900-1300 Monday to Friday. You can also find out more and fill in the form on our Volunteer with Us page.

LINK Porter Trust
