Ipswich Dial A Ride Excursions
Ipswich Dial A Ride also offer excursions where one of the volunteer drivers donates more of his time so that our passengers can enjoy the occasional day out. Passangers should be regualr users of the service to qualify.

During the year excursions are arranged to the coast and local attractions – all of which are extremely popular. They usually take place at a weekend and are often over- subscribed.
We need Volunteer Drivers!
