We Provide Transport
Areterra runs its own minibus for collections and drop-offs — getting here is not something you need to worry about.
- We collect participants from home and drop them back at the end of the day using our own minibus.
- Collections and drop-offs are arranged based on your location when you sign up — just let us know where you are.
- Families and carers are also welcome to drop off and collect directly if they prefer.
