NHS and Care Volunteer Responders is urgently calling for people in Redditch to sign up and volunteer to support vulnerable people in the community.
The call for volunteers comes as the Volunteer Responders programme expands to support even more people and communities across England.
Redditch needs 100 volunteers to step forward to help with two newly relaunched volunteer activities, Community Response and Pick Up and Deliver.
The services include collecting and delivering food shopping, prescriptions and helping to transport medicines or small medical equipment.
Volunteering is completely flexible and is managed through the GoodSAM app.
Community Response and Pick Up and Deliver were initially launched during the pandemic to support shielding and isolated individuals.
Countless volunteering heroes emerged, ready to serve, offering support to those most vulnerable.
Sam Ward, deputy CEO of Royal Voluntary Service said: “Today, the need for volunteers remains as vital as ever. We are urgently, asking those who can, to provide support to their communities and volunteer.
“Just giving a couple of hours, at a time that suits you, can make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of local people across Redditch.”
