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!
