We rely on volunteers for all our work with the steering group, the telephone co-ordinators and people ‘on the ground’ and are very grateful for everyone’s dedication to the scheme.
All volunteers are invited to a regular monthly get-together for a coffee and a chat. These are very sociable occasions and a chance to make new friends as well as meet up with old ones!
