About Us
We are Westway CT, a non-profit social enterprise tackling isolation and creating community in West London.
Our transport services and dedicated drivers are a lifeline for community groups, older people, and anyone facing challenges using public transport. We offer people the means to lead active and independent lives on their own terms.
For 30 years we have played a vital role in connecting communities, improving lives by helping hundreds of community groups and individuals across Kensington & Chelsea, Westminster, and Hammersmith & Fulham.
We work with charities, community groups and schools, providing them with safe and reliable passenger and goods transport taliored to their needs. Our Dial-a-Ride, Shopper Buses and Volunteer Cars provide disabled and older people with assisted travel on their terms.
As a membership organisation, we prioritise affordability and flexibility, offering accessible travel options for a wide range of needs. Our fleet of 42 vehicles including mini buses, midi coaches, cars and a goods vehicle are driven by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers.
We’re passionate about community and making a tangible difference to the lives of local residents.
Our Mission
Adding value, bringing choice
We connect people and places, through the provision of reliable, accessible and inclusive transport, contributing to stronger, healthier, happier communities and lives.
We are powerful tool for promoting independence, self-empowerment, mutual help and support. Affordability is key, so we maximise the use of expensive resources, delivered to the highest standard, to ensure best value for all our users and supporters.
Community owned and user led, with no private shareholders, our social enterprise model also contributes to local resilience through fair and meaningful employment and volunteering. Wherever possible we spend locally and have a long history of successful partnership working across different sectors.
