Elizabeth from Weston Green became a client of Ditton and Weston Green Neighbour Care recently. Elizabeth says: “It’s a very different thing driving when you’re older – confidence plays a big part. Until last year, I’d never had to think about asking anyone else for help, but now it’s a real comfort to know that they are there.”
Avril is a volunteer driver for Ditton and Weston Green Neighbour Care and helps local people like Elizabeth to get out and about. She explains: “This week I’ve done two driving jobs but next week I might not do any. That’s the beauty of this scheme – the flexibility it affords. There’s no onerous commitment yet it’s so very rewarding.”
Becoming a volunteer driver is easy and volunteers can give as much or as little time as they choose, as well as decide the days and times during which they are available.
