For many seniors in the UK, the real barrier to social life isn’t lack of interest — it’s transport. Whether it’s for shopping, seeing friends, or joining local social groups, getting from A to B shouldn’t be a luxury.
The Bigger Picture in Preston: In areas like Preston, traditional transport services aren’t built around the real lives of older people. Buses are infrequent, taxis aren’t always helpful, and family support is stretched.
A New Approach: LinkLifts is changing that by:
Offering transport tailored to seniors — from vehicle height to friendly drivers
Building tech that helps carers and users book simply
Connecting users to social groups they actually enjoy — and getting them there
Beyond the Ride: This isn’t just about transport. It’s about rebuilding community, confidence, and connection — with real outcomes for elderly mental and physical health.
If you’re ready to rethink how transport and community fit together for our ageing population, LinkLifts is the next step. We’re proud to lead this movement in Preston — and beyond.
