About Lascot

Helping our community to get out and about

Lambeth and Southwark Community Transport (LaSCoT) has been helping the community in Lambeth and Southwark to get out and about since it was founded in 2001 to provide community transport services in the boroughs. In 2006, we joined award-winning social enterprise HCT Group and we provide a range of high-quality transport for the community in Lambeth, Southwark and beyond. Our services include:

Minibus hire – a low cost alternative: We provide community groups, clubs and non-profit organisations in Lambeth and Southwark with a financially supported scheme to access cheap minibuses - Group Transport.

YourCar: A low cost, fully accessible alternative to minicab hire – designed to help people with disabilities or mobility difficulties where a regular minicab or taxi doesn’t meet all of their needs. Vehicles are fully wheelchair accessible and drivers are trained to be able to help their passengers from door to vehicle to door.

Minibus driver training: We provide Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme (MiDAS) training, helping our community group members drive vehicles themselves, saving on having to hire a driver with their vehicle.

Passenger Assistant Training (PATS): PATS is the nationally recognised qualification for passenger assistants, passenger carers and other equivalent job or volunteer roles.

Safeguarding Adults Training: Staff from all areas of Adult and Community Services need an awareness of the Safeguarding Adults agenda – we provide fully contextualised training for people in transport roles

Dial-a-Ride: We deliver a variety of Dial-a-Ride services under contract in the borough.

Harm reduction: In partnership with Southwark and Lambeth NHS trusts, Lascot operate two harm reduction services.

College transport: We are working with FE colleges in Lambeth and Southwark to ensure their learners can get to college
