Heywood, Middleton & Rochdale Circle is taking over the Volunteer Driver Service (VDS).
Mary Burke, co-ordinator for the VDS, has joined HMR Circle and the VDS contact number of 0800 032 0868 remains the same.
Ms Burke said: "The service has been managed by CVS since mid-2011 and in this time has grown hugely in popularity with a constantly increasing membership.
"In such uncertain times I am pleased that Rochdale Adult Care Services will continue to fund the Volunteer Drivers under the management of HMR Circle.
“I would like to thank all of our service users for their continued support of the Volunteer Driver Service and for their patience and understanding during this transitional period."
Mark Wynn, director at HMR Circle, said: "A lot of the Circle Members use the Volunteer Driver Service and we also have members who volunteer as drivers as well, so we are very aware of the vital service it delivers around the borough.
"It is our ambition help grow the service and support more people across the borough."
