About us

The Marlborough Community Vehicle Trust was formed in 2016 as a charitable trust with the initial aim of supporting residents in Picton and the Marlborough Sounds area to attend medical appointments in Blenheim and Nelson.

The service quickly expanded from Picton and the Sounds to include wider Marlborough communities.
The Trust has two vehicles located in Picton and two in Blenheim.

The Trust is 100% volunteer-driven and since inception nearly 2,000 residents have taken advantage of the service.

HOW IT WORKS

Our Drivers

The number of volunteer drivers fluctuates around 25 men and women. Our drivers are not paramedics however they are experienced in driving our passengers safely to their appointments and then back to their homes.

Our Trustees

Our trustees work hard to ensure we offer a valuable service to Marlborough residents to support their access to healthcare.

The Board of Trustees can have up to ten elected trustees who can be appointed by the Board and/or elected at the Annual General Meeting. The Board meets every two months alternately in Picton and Blenheim.

Annual financial reporting to the Charities Commission is undertaken by the Board’s Treasurer.
