Charity seeks drive helpers
ARE you a driver and car owner who would like to help local patients in need of vital hospice support?
If so, Lewis-Manning is looking for volunteer patient drivers across Purbeck.
Lewis-Manning’s day hospice provides a calm, relaxing and homely atmosphere for people diagnosed with a life-limiting illness.
It offers a safe space for patients to receive support from nurses and take part in activities they enjoy – from arts and crafts, to simply having a cuppa and a natter with others.
The charity needs someone to help transport patients from their homes in Purbeck to the new Closer to Home day hospice in Wareham.
Debbie Tallick-Wyatt, Lewis-Manning’s day hospice clinical team manager, said: “We are so excited to have recently opened the doors to our new day hospice based at Wareham and Swanage Rugby Club, meaning we can offer this fantastic service to people in our community, closer to home.
“If you are a confident driver, with a full, clean license and like meeting new people, we would love you to join us as a volunteer patient driver, supporting your community and helping to brighten the days of our patients.”
To apply visit lewis-manning. org.uk/volunteer-vacancies, email hr@lewis-manning.org.uk or call the volunteer manager on 01202 708470.
