A
letter from the chairman of Felmersham & Radwell Community Care |
Everybody needs good neighbours and
friends, and never more so when life in our village communities is
changing so fast. That is why Felmersham and Radwell organised
their own village care scheme in 1997, in order to extend any
existing help offered by family and friends in an organised way
through local village volunteers.
We
offer a range of assistance such as lifts to appointments, the
shops or social events and prescription collection.
Beneficiaries have varied from elderly and
isolated persons, to parents with young children who may need
short-term help.
Joint ventures have
been undertaken with other local organisations to promote a link
with residents and encourage a stronger community spirit.

To use this service, telephone us
on: 07786 344176 leaving your name, message and telephone number.
We will return your call as soon as possible.
All our
volunteers are DBS checked and ready to help you.
Should
you be unsure whether or not we could help you, then give us a
ring anyway. If we cannot help, then we maybe know someone who
can.
