After discussions with Alicia Howard and
John Lewis, I am in the process of setting up a scheme to assist those in Chearsley who need
lifts to attend medical appointments. I hope to be able to have this up and
running by the end of March.
I am happy to be the telephone contact for
those who need lifts and to coordinate this initially, on an informal,
neighbourly basis.
First of all, I will need some volunteers
to offer to drive, and then I can set up a WhatsApp group to contact everyone.
If drivers don’t use WhatsApp yet, it is easy to set up on a mobile phone, and
would seem a good way to start. Otherwise contact can be through phone calls
and emails.
I understand that most insurance companies
are happy to provide cover for this voluntary help, at no extra charge, but
drivers would have to check their own cover.
Please do contact me if you feel you would
be able to assist with this, or if you are able to help me with arrangements
and provide back up when I am away.
