Voluntary Care Groups
The Borough's Voluntary Care Groups are there to provide practical help
to elderly people who are unable to get help from family, friends or
neighbours. This help includes door to door transport to GP surgeries,
clinics and hospitals, prescription collection, transport to local
shops or even doing the shopping. Many groups can also help with
everyday household tasks such as putting up shelves or handrails, light
gardening and changing fuses in electric plugs etc. The groups do not
however undertake housework or cleaning.
The groups all operate
in specific parts of the Borough, so contact your local group using the
information shown. For a map showing the locations of the Voluntary
Care Groups' offices, click here.
All
the voluntary care groups always need volunteers to help with driving,
befriending and generally helping out older people. If you have a few
hours to spare, do get in touch with one of them!
