from9-The purpose of the community minibus is to promote health, mobility, education, and social inclusion. The minibus is therefore available to Sleat residents for uses which support these goals. Unfortunately, the vehicle cannot be used for private events or trips to the pub!
For each trip we try our best to get you a volunteer driver to help you get to your appointments, but you could take the vehicle yourself once recorded with us as a driver.
Scheduled Trips to Kyle

Use by Sleat-based groups
If your group would like to use the vehicle for something which supports our four goals of health, mobility, education, and social inclusion, we will be happy to lend it to you. You will need to provide a driver who must allow us to take a copy of their licence in advance. Everyone on the bus must be a resident of Sleat.
Charges
Trips within Skye and Kyle – £2 per person for a return trip
