Raising our profile is an important way to encourage more members to use Liftshare and, as a result, create more journey matches for everyone using the platform.

From initial small talk, through deep conversations and the odd misunderstanding, to car games, radio sing-alongs and updates on dating disasters, we see awkward unfamiliarity blossom into a wonderful and life-enhancing friendship on the road. John (Kay) and Kayleigh (Sian…
