Who we are

A local charity that gets people where they need to be

Keighley Community Transport was established in 1984 and is based just off Goulbourne Street in Keighley. We provide safe and reliable transport for local groups across the Keighley district and surrounding areas.

Our minibuses carry day-care centres, leisure groups, community and charity groups and educational outings. We also run a weekly shopping service for people who are at a disadvantage through age, disability, ill health or isolation.
