Could someone in your business spare a couple of hours to make a real difference?
Supporting Older People is looking for a few more volunteer drivers to help older people get to its monthly Tea & Talk at the Crown Hotel in Harrogate.
Around 45–50 older people attend each month for tea, cake, conversation and company. But for some, getting there can be a challenge.
That’s where our volunteer drivers come in.
🚗 Pick up one or more older people from their homes around 1.15–1.30pm
�☕ Bring them to the Crown Hotel for the 2pm start�
🏠 Take them home again around 3.30pm
There’s no commitment to do it every month. SOP contacts its pool of drivers around a week before each event, so you simply help when you’re available.
We’d love local businesses to share this opportunity with staff, retired colleagues, customers, friends and family who might be able to help.
Sometimes, a couple of hours is all it takes to help someone get out, see friends and enjoy an afternoon they’ve been looking forward to.
Could you help spread the word? ❤️
