Transport Services CATS offer:
Coastal Accessible Transport (CATS) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing accessible transport for people of all ages who are unable to use conventional public transport or do not have access to their own. Whether due to mobility challenges or rural isolation, we’re here to help across the Suffolk Coastal area.
CATS is overseen by a volunteer-led committee, with daily operations managed by our friendly team based in Leiston.
If you’d like to find out more about our services or how you can get involved, please get in touch today—we’d love to hear from you.

Have you ever wanted to drive a minibus? Take groups to day centres, to the seaside or to medical appointments? We desperately need volunteers to drive our minibuses. Whatever you are willing to do, once a week or once a month, we would love to speak to you about getting involved and helping the community. We are constantly having to say no to groups and organisations because of the lack of drivers available. Could you make people's day by picking them up?
