THE right transport is of crucial importance to people with multiple sclerosis.
They need space, easy access and a comfortable ride.
The Hereford and District Branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society has worked hard to provide all three.
It has taken delivery of a £30,000 state-of-the-art minibus, which is already in use on the road.
Members worked hard to raise the cash with feverish activities such as sponsored marathons and cycle rides and there were generous donations from benefactors.
The society's transport manager Keith Martin said it could carry 11 passengers, less if four wheelchairs were on board, and was air conditioned.
Their old bus was nine years old and they needed something more comfortable, said Mr Martin, a volunteer driver with the society.
The minibus will be used to take members on respite holidays, to social events and to regular therapy sessions.
