NEW VOLUNTEER DRIVERS are urgently needed to join the team of volunteers assisting the Voluntary Driving Scheme in Plumpton. The Scheme has been running successfully for 17 years taking villagers with restricted mobility to health care providers in many locations including Brighton, Lewes, Heathfield, Eastbourne, Crowborough and Haywards Heath. All drivers need a DBS check at no cost to themselves. Drivers at present get 45p per mile to cover fuel costs. For more information or an informal chat please contact Gill Medhurst on 01273 890055 or email [email protected].
VOLUNTARY DRIVING SCHEME is available for transport to local doctors, hospitals, chiropodists, opticians and dentists Mondays through to Fridays from 9am to 5pm. The Scheme will do their best to help, to book transport call Jackie on 07855 213947.
GOOD NEIGHBOURS SCHEME operates in Plumpton and East Chiltington to provide support and practical help to residents in need, whether temporary (for example as a result of an operation) or ongoing, because of age, disability or living alone. They also offer befriending, if you’d like a cuppa and a chat. If they can help, in any way, contact the coordinator on 07478 524152. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer contact Gina Hawthorne on 07595 894425.
