Thanks to the many people who have completed our recent survey, the results of this survey will enable us to deliver better services to our clients. Suggestions have also been passed on to staff so they can use your ideas for future trips.
Don’t forget our Tell Us requests:
• Tell us if you have an email address- we need this for faster communication with you.
• Tell others about our services- they may need our services as well.
• Tell your local Member of Parliament how much you value our services – they provide the funding that makes the service available.
Yours,

Welcome to our first Calendar for 2019!
Welcome to another year of Time to Enjoy outings with the team at Activus. We know that many will be making their bookings for these trips before
Christmas, don’t forget to write down the trips you have booked, and remember to listen to the automated telephone call the night before your trip for any updated information about time of pick up.
As we mentioned previously, due to increases in the cost of delivering our bus outings, from the 1st of January 2019 we will be increasing the cost of the transport on our social outings to $20. This will bring the bus trips in line with the cost of the car services – the cost of shopping will remain at $10. Look out for the new ‘Go Shuttle’ Buy 5 get one free promotion happening in the New Year.
