Could you be a volunteer travel companion? The British Red Cross is planning to launch a new pilot scheme in the Wealden area of East Sussex. Often it can be a daunting experience for someone to see a consultant and/or undergo various tests. If appropriate the volunteer can accompany them into the consultation, help them interpret the often-complicated medical information and possibly go for a cup of tea prior to returning home. We are looking for volunteers who would be prepared to undertake this role on an occasional basis (perhaps 1-2 times per month). Appropriate training will be given and travel expenses covered. If you are interested in learning more about this new scheme please contact: Gerald Pincott |
