What do people say about us?
'As a regular referrer to Transport for Sick Children I have found the team and drivers to be so accommodating and supportive. There are so many of our families here at the Children’s hospital to whom the charity makes such a difference and who benefit greatly from this much needed transport service in order for them to be seen by their medical specialist’
