Volunteering as a driver
From April to the end of October, we travel in our ‘mobil bi dir’ information bus to towns in the Basel area and neighbourhoods in Basel. Over a cup of coffee or a glass of water, people seeking advice can speak to our expert team about a wide range of topics.
Volunteers collect our seven-metre-long, wheelchair-accessible bus from its base and drive it to the relevant location, where they prepare it together with the advisory team.
