Descriptive Transcript
Two older women walk slowly towards a white Community Connections minibus. A driver in a navy shirt offers support to one of the women as they approach the side door. The film cuts to a wide aerial view of the bus driving along a suburban road lined with trees and houses. A drone shot shows the minibus pulling into a supermarket car park, moving between rows of parked cars. In the supermarket, a Community Connections volunteer wearing a yellow high visibility jacket helps an older man out of a dark blue car. The final scene shows the man seated in a wheelchair being taken towards his home.
