People living with disabilities are happier and healthier when they live within an inclusive community.
But often they face challenges with mobility that makes it hard to get out, connect and enjoy the independence that most of us take for granted.
At Driving Miss Daisy, we help our clients with disabilities to enjoy the freedom to go safely to social events, appointments, shopping or trips to see friends with our companion driving service. We are the family they have when their family can’t be there.

If we can help you, or your family, or a friend give us a call and let’s talk about how we can help. Have a chat with Sophie today.

Daisy and Client chitchat…
Karla and I were talking about good habits and not so good habits… I said, “but I’m an angel.” Karla laughed loudly at me!
But then she said, “you are an angel, you are always polite with good manners, very quiet, and always on the job.”
Thanks Karla ☺️ … I think 😂 - Michelle
