Calling all drivers! Could you spare about four hours per month to drive people who are not very mobile, but may have to get to the doctor or a hospital appointment, etc?
We are presently receiving requests from villages throughout the South Charnwood area, but unfortunately we do not have sufficient drivers to ensure that we can answer every request. We understand that volunteers are not always available, so we need to have a larger list to compensate when other drivers are on holiday or have family commitments.
Mileage is paid and most insurance companies cover volunteer drivers at no extra cost; we provide the form to send to your own insurance company.
As well as providing a valuable service, it is very sociable taking out the clients. If you have taken early retirement, have been made redundant or have a car available we would love to have an informal discussion on the service that the Syston and District Volunteer Centre provides with no commitment at this stage.
Telephone 0116 260 7888, 9.00am to 1.00pm Monday to Friday.
