Volunteer plea to help drive patients to hospital
2:30pm Thursday 14th February 2013 in News
A call has gone out for volunteer drivers in the Bridport area to take cancer patients to hospital.
Bridport and District Good Neighbours Scheme, part of Pathways to Care, has received a grant to help cancer patients with transport to hospital for treatment. The organisation needs more volunteer drivers willing to take people to Poole, Bournemouth, Dorchester, Exeter and other specialist hospitals, providing a back-up service and respite from driving for family, carers and friends.
Anyone who would like to volunteer, or who needs to use the service, can contact Good Neighbours on 01308 420483 between 9am and 1pm.
Or alternatively they can call 01308 427851, or email jo@jovian.co.uk for further information.
