Reducing Isolation & Loneliness

Welcome to the FDM Website

FDM is a local community transport charity based in Rothwell, South Leeds.

We operate 2 fully adapted minibuses, a 16 seater and an 11 seater, which can be booked by registered Group Users. For more information about how to register please visit our Group User page. Our 16 Seater bus is pictured below.

A key aim of FDM is to reduce social isolation and support independence.
To help address this FDM also operates two Social Clubs covering the postcode areas of LS26, LS27 and WF3. Membership is just £3 per year or part year and members receive a copy of our monthly newsletter and schedule of trips. If you want to meet friends and make new ones then join us! Call Katy on 0113 2889000 on Wednesday between
10am and 12 noon and 2pm and 4pm or on Thursday between 2pm and 4pm. New members are always made welcome. Please visit our Social Club pages for more information.

FDM Trustees would like to express their thanks to everyone in our community who supports us at our fundraising events. Please visit our Donations & Grants and Fundraising page for more information.
