Volunteers

Car Drivers

Driving patients to Medical, Dental appointments or Day Care. A volunteer recently said, "The patients you meet will inspire you to be more appreciative of what you have in your own life. If you want to put something back into your community, then go for it".

Expenses are currently paid at 45p a mile. Your motor insurance should not be affected but you must tell your insurers that you are doing voluntary work.

Sitters

Sitting with a patient to allow the carer to go shopping, to the hairdresser's, or simply to have a little time to themselves.

"When you are looking after someone you love 24 hours a day, you cannot understand the strain and pressure it puts on you and the relationship. It is such a relief to get away for just a couple of hours knowing your loved one is still being cared for".
