Māpua Willing Wheels -
Voluntary Drivers Community Transport

Happy Birthday - It’s our 1st Birthday!

Māpua Willing Wheels are celebrating their first birthday, having been operational since August 2020. The need for reliable and affordable transport for Māpua and Districts residents was highlighted in the 2019 Residents Community Wellbeing Survey. The fact that the team of volunteer drivers are still going strong a year later shows the demand is there, with many requests coming from repeat customers. The service has been very warmly and positively received and the Wheels team are thrilled to have the support of many local businesses through sponsorship and displaying of their posters. The volunteers have enjoyed meeting new people and being of service to residents in their community. The service is available to anyone that needs it……
