Travel Hands

Travel Hands is a product of VIP World Services, a service that pairs VIP with sighted and verified volunteers to walk together towards their similar destinations.

A VIP can submit a trip request that is automatically sent to a volunteer near them, alerting the volunteer to their location. The accepting volunteer will then come and pick-up the VIP and walk towards the requested destination.

£3

Now, VIP can pay as less as £3 for walking outdoors with a volunteer available as per request
