At Beeline Community Transport and Wellbeing Hub, we believe that connection is the first step towards equality. Our service is designed to bridge gaps within our communities. Whether you’re accessing essential services, discovering local social activities, or finding support, Beeline helps communities thrive by making transport more accessible. Together we’re building a future where no one is left behind.
Beeline Community Transport and Wellbeing Hub has three new vehicles.
The launch brought together volunteers, service users, funders and local partners for coffee, home bakes and a proper catch up.
This new capacity will help more people get out, take part and stay connected across Moray.
Beeline is a local charity providing community transport and wellbeing services across Hopeman, Burghead, Cummingston, Duffus, Roseisle and nearby villages.
The organisation exists to connect people to sport, health appointments, social groups and everyday life so that no one is left behind and rural transport inequalities are reduced across the area.
The expansion was made possible thanks to support from the Gordon and Ena Baxter Foundation, the Robertson Group, Moray Local Action Group, CAe UK, the Just Transition Scheme, Money for Moray and the Plugged In Communities programme with support from Energy Saving Trust on behalf of Transport Scotland.
The launch was a celebration of people and partnership and underlined how vital reliable community transport is to keeping people connected and active.
Lindsay Nelson, chairperson of Beeline Community Transport, said: “We began with a simple idea and a lot of community spirit.
“Over the years our service became a lifeline for people who were isolated.
“The support we have received means we can keep people moving, keep people together and make sure no one is left behind.”
Guests at the event included Air Commodore Alistair Monkman CBE, Lord-Lieutenant of Moray, service users who rely on Beeline for everyday journeys, the many volunteers who give their time and local funders.
The charity highlighted how the expanded fleet will widen access to sporting activities, community services and social hubs, support weekly groups and help people get to medical appointments so they can stay independent and take part in community life.
Beeline are grateful to Hopeman Bowling Club for hosting the vehicles over the years and to everyone who backed the project through participatory budgeting and local fundraising.
The organisation said the new capacity will strengthen community life, reduce isolation and make a real difference to people who face transport barriers.
