Sheppey Wheels Community Bus Transport scheme are extremely proud to be able to support The Swale Stroke Group. We wish to congratulate them on their recent award at the 2016 Stroke Association Awards.
Founding Memeber of the group Stewart Kitching said
“the bus has been a lifeline to his members in helping them get out and about.”
Sheppey Wheels offer day trips in and around of Kent and into London, private hire is also available to Community Groups members. Our buses are available at affordable prices, whilst also ensuring that Sheppey Wheels continues to be self-sustaining.
Sheppey Wheels started as an outreach project in 2006 with the aim of providing a much needed transport link at a reasonable price for the community and voluntary sector. We have built on the communities’ needs year after year receiving such a positive response to our low cost, fully accessible service with friendly volunteer drivers.

Comment On Sheppey Wheels Minibus supporting Swale Stroke Group
Hello,
My name is Jim Currie and I am a stroke survivor and also the coordinator for the Whitstable Different Strokes group, who meet in the Umbrella Centre, Whitstable.
I was fortunate to meet the stroke group from Sheppy a few weeks ago who came to Whitstable on a day trip and what was lovely was a friend of mine was part of the group.
My reason for contacting you is, does your coach hiring extend to Whitstable as I would like to arrange a day trip for the group in the near future if this is possible.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Jim Currie
