You can now arrange volunteer support for recipients of social care, including domiciliary care and people living in care homes. The volunteer services on offer include:

  • Check in and Chat – short-term telephone support consisting of friendly conversations to improve mental health and wellbeing.
  • Pick up and deliver – transportation of medication to people’s homes from NHS sites.
  • Community Response (coming soon) – help with activities including collecting and delivering food shopping and essential items and / or prescriptions and medications.
