Time on your hands? Maybe, due to recent events, working from home and needing an hour or so away from your laptop? Then why not give volunteer driving a go?
We are looking to add to our team of volunteer drivers across the villages of Eversley and Bramshill to help our local, elderly residents access their medical appointments.
The role is incredibly flexible and rewarding.
Some of our elderly villagers have very little, if any, social contact so a lift to their GP or hospital appointments can make all the difference as they often struggle to obtain transport. An hour or two once a week / fortnight or even just once a month would really help; the bigger the pool of volunteers the more residents we can help.
Petrol is paid at 60p per mile.
Skills
A friendly, chatty nature.
Ideally a vehicle that is fairly accessible as often a 4x4 is a little too high for some of the elderly to scramble into it!
18+
Enhanced DBS check required which we will undertake on your behalf.
Volunteers ideally need to live locally to the villages.
