Friday Lunch Club – Still Going Strong! 🚗💙

Every Friday, our wonderful clients come together for a lunch outing filled with good food, great company, and plenty of laughter. It’s more than just a meal—it’s about connection, friendship, and making memories. 💛

We love seeing the joy these outings bring and are so grateful to be part of such a special tradition. If you or someone you know would like to join us for a Friday lunch adventure, get in touch - we’d love to have you!

Here is our wonderful Client Barry. Barry is usually on the GO with Dance & Fitness classes every day of the week, but for the month of January he has a bit of free time to explore other activities.

Today our Daisy Claire took him to Baxter's Sunflowers Havelock North

He had a great time exploring somewhere new, keep an eye out for Barry on his next Adventure 🌻

Driving Miss Daisy vs Taxis?

We are often asked at Driving Miss Daisy, what is the difference between you and a standard taxi

The main differences is that we are all first-aid trained, are Dementia Friends and have disability awareness as well as full Police Vetting. We spend time with our customers, either in their homes or at their chosen location, offering quality companionship and assistance or simply taking notes in appointments for them. Many clients are simply lonely or lacking in confidence and appreciate travelling with someone who cares.

Our vehicles are designed to take wheelchairs, and guide dogs; we also carry aids to assist clients when getting in to our cars. The key point is you don’t have to have a disability to use us, just be someone who appreciates a quality service.

Jan and her Team are so passionate about supporting older people and were quick to offer a donation towards this day, that provides a Christmas Day and meal to those who find themselves alone at Christmas.

Thank you, Jan, Lottie and the Driving Miss Daisy Team!!

🎄🌟 Festive Fun at Daisy Friday Lunches! 🌟🎄

Our last Daisy Friday lunch before Christmas was a delightful gathering at Mosaics, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who joined us. 🎉 The laughter, delicious food, and great company made it a day to remember!

We’re doing it all again this Friday because our clients just can’t get enough of these wonderful outings. 💛 Whether it’s the food, the friendships, or the festive cheer, there’s something special for everyone.

At Driving Miss Daisy, we love noticing the little joys in life, like the magnificent hydrangeas blooming at this time of year. Their vibrant colors remind us of how beautiful every journey can be, especially when shared with our wonderful clients.

Whether you're heading to appointments, the supermarket, or just out for a scenic drive, our team is here to make your trips as delightful as the flowers of the season.
