Volunteers behind the wheel

Bev Baulderstone is a volunteer driver for the Phillip Island RSL, driving veterans and RSL members to medical and dental appointments that they otherwise may not be able to get to.

Bev takes her passengers everywhere they need to go, from local appointments to Wonthaggi, to Melbourne for The Alfred, Epworth, Peter Mac, St Vincent’s and even Berwick!

“I take them anywhere they need to go,” says Bev.

She loves volunteering her time behind the wheel, and on longer journeys, her passengers enjoy the day with her too.

The RSL has two vehicles dedicated to delivering this important service … and Bev is one of a number of drivers who volunteer their time for it.

Andrew Tolley is the RSL Veteran and Community Service co-ordinator who helps organise the service.

He can be contacted at the RSL on 5952 1004 if required.
