Volunteers needed for Contact the Elderly charity

2:20pm Sunday 10th March 2013 in News By Rebecca Cain

A CHARITY which helps isolated elderly people is looking for more volunteers.

The Contact the Elderly groups in Aylesbury and High Wycombe need volunteer drivers and hosts.

Once a month volunteers take isolated elderly people, 75 and over, in the area out for tea.

Hosts then welcome the group into their homes for a tea party.

This regular monthly outing makes a huge difference to the life of an isolated person and gives them something to look forward to.

Drivers collect two to three elderly guests, take them to the party and join in, and then return them safely home.

If you would like to volunteer contact Suzan Hyland on 0207 4205811 or email suzan.hyland@contact-the-elderly.org.uk
