Car sharing
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainable travel, we encourage staff to join the Free National Liftshare Scheme and make your commute cheaper, greener, and more sociable.
The online scheme enables staff to search for someone who goes their way so they can share the journey.
You don’t have to car share every day to make a difference. Even sharing once a week offers financial savings, as well as reducing your carbon footprint, congestion and demand for parking spaces.

Liftshare.com is a national platform that connects drivers and passengers travelling similar routes. Whether you drive or catch a lift, you can share journeys, reduce costs, and help cut congestion and emissions.

Can you ditch the car completely?
Transport (particularly cars) is now the biggest source of CO2 emissions in the UK. Living car free is therefore one of the most impactful environmental actions an individual can take. Can you leave the car at home altogether and choose active travel or public transport? It could also help reduce traffic, air pollution and if you choose active travel, can improve your health and wellbeing.
