‘It’s so educating and enlightening!’
‘Would be good if the organisation could come in frequently’
‘Fantastic, very warm welcome!’
‘Very interesting, learned something new!’
‘Very well organised, everyone was positive and friendly’
'People are scared of going to the doctor, this will encourage them more'
‘I liked coming today, very happy with the pop up’
Over 99 % of people fed back that they would like more Vaxi Taxi Pop Ups in the future!

The CRF Vaxi Taxi/Health and Wellbeing Pop Ups Project has been set up by the Crisis Rescue Foundation, which collaborates with local community organisations and clinicians to identify the needs of the community in each area to create a bespoke health and wellbeing event. The events rely on volunteers and everyone has a specific role.
