Minibus Hire
We have 4 minibuses, three of which have wheelchair access, available for hire. Rates are from £35 only. Minibus hire

Disclosure Checks
If you are a charity or a community group which has staff or volunteers working with children, young people or adults at risk, then they must be checked through the Disclosure Scotland process.

PKAVS is a registered intermediary office of the Central Registered Body in Scotland (CRBS). This means that we can process the Disclosure Scotland application for you, which can save you a lot of money. It costs £150 to register with Disclosure Scotland and £20 for each application.

But with us, all applications for volunteers get their application processed for free and will even post it off for you!

For Disclosure application forms, contact Anne Wardlaw on 01738 567076 or anne.wardlaw@pkavs.org.uk

PKAVS is also a Trusted Partner of CRBS. Therefore, any organisation that wishes to be registered with CRBS can complete the visual identification part of the process with us rather than having to travel to Stirling.
