People to Places is starting a new project called PoMP. It is funded by

programme aimed at people aged 50+ who, although active, are retired
or unemployed but looking to fill their time positively and are local to the Royal Borough of Windsor and
Maidenhead. |
Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme (MiDAS)
|
MiDAS is the national minibus driving safety standards; we've
recently had two people trained to be MiDAS trainers and People
to Places are committed to becoming fully MiDAS compliant by
July 2010. This means that by this date, all of the drivers who
use our vehicles, must have passed the MiDAS standard. For the
first tranche of training, we've been funded by Berkshire
Community Foundation to train drivers, so it is free to our
existing staff, volunteers and group drivers. We've estimated
that about 50 people need to be trained! Training consists
of a day's theory work and a couple of hours assessment, on a
separate day and will cover minibus driving, wheelchair clamping
and tail-lift operation. To start the training programme, the
following dates are available:-

|
| More dates will be arranged later in the year.
Although Theory and Assessment sessions have been paired, in fact you
don't have to do the assessment session directly after the theory, if the
date isn't convenient, however, the theory has to be attended before the
assessment can be attempted. |

All training will be held at the People to Places
offices, timings are Theory start at 9am and finish at
4pm Assessment are 1 hour long at a mutually convenient
time. Please confirm which
dates you are able to attend to the following email
