Transport Scheme:
For use by anyone who finds it difficult to use public transport through age, disability or ill-health. We are always seeking drivers to undertake local trips, some London runs and occasional long-distance journeys. Petrol expenses are paid; new drivers applying to us must be under 70.
Befriending Scheme:
For use by any elderly (over 65) or disabled person who is isolated through illness, age, disability or just lonely. We are always seeking befrienders to pay regular visits to offer friendship and, perhaps, help with shopping. Reasonable expenses are paid.
Practical services:
We can occasionally help with light gardening or simple D I Y tasks.
Recruitment:
We also act as a “recruitment agency” for any third-party organisation seeking volunteers.
Opportunities include:
- Working with children and families
- Caring for animals
- Helping the local NHS trust
- Assisting schools
- Supporting those with physical/mental disabilities
