Support and Transport for the Community

Important information about FISH and COVID-19

Although sadly many of our activities are still restricted, FISH is continuing to help people through these difficult times in any way we are able.  At the moment this includes:
1. Providing transport for appointments (taking safety precautions advised by Public Health England)
2. Shopping for anyone unable to get out
3. Taking paper prescriptions to the health centre and collecting/delivering medication from the health centre or chemist.
4. Providing regular phone calls for anyone in need of a friendly chat
5. Lending out talking books, music CDs and jigsaw puzzles- please phone the office for more information, we can deliver to your home if required.
6. Carrying out small repairs in people's houses
7. Collaborating with Oxfordshire foot care, 
8. Continuing our home visiting service in a covid 19-safe way (by telephone only at the moment)

Our volunteers are a diverse and resourceful bunch so you may find we can assist in other ways.  If in doubt phone FISH and we will either help you directly or put you in touch with someone else who can help. 

**Minibus restart**

With the government "roadmap" currently on course, we will be restarting a limited bus service on Monday 17 May, offering shopping trips to Tesco and Waitrose.

As long as requirements for face-coverings, continued hand cleansing and social distancing remain in place, the bus will be limited to 5 passengers on each journey.  Click link below for details.   Bookings will be taken from Tuesday 4 May.

May Bus Timetable


The programme for June will be circulated on Thursday 20 May, by which time we hope to be able to extend the service.
