Volunteering Opportunities with Basingstoke NeighbourCare

About

We support clients by providing a transport service to those who are unable to use other forms of public transport, e.g. for the elderly, infirm or those who need a little help with mobility. This includes transporting people to medical appointments and therapy sessions, providing trips to visit a loved one, helping them to the library, taking them to older persons clubs, or simply taking them shopping. Some of our volunteers are able to assist with clients wheelchairs. We also offer a befriending service for lonely and isolated members of the community. Befrienders are volunteers who are matched carefully with clients who are in need of company or help with reading or form filling. Our volunteers devote anything from an hour a week to a couple of hours a day to assist our clients and we know from the feedback and comments we receive from clients and their families that our service really makes a difference to the lives of the people they help. We rely on our team of dedicated volunteers to provide our services and it is the community spirit that they possess which enables us to deliver a high quality service in a low key way.
