ABOUT US

SERVING THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1979

The Care Group has been in operation in the Horndean Parish area since 1979 and, during that time, well over 200 volunteers have ‘passed through their hands’ and they have undertaken thousands of tasks on behalf of the residents of South Horndean, Blendworth, Catherington and Lovedean.  (Please note North Horndean is covered by Clanfield Voluntary Support Group).

The Group endeavours to assist with transport door-to-door to hospitals, GP surgeries, dentists, hairdressers, lunch clubs, opticians, shopping trips etc. so, if you have difficulty in travelling to your appointment, please give the Group a call on 07528 331989 with, if possible, at least 48 hours notice. The Group will ask for a donation towards petrol expenses but the Volunteers time is free of charge.

However, if you are lucky enough to have your own means of transport and feel able to assist the Group, give them a call – drivers can be reimbursed with a mileage allowance. Similarly, you could become a volunteer by taking incoming telephone calls in your own home from those residents requiring assistance. All volunteers will be required to undertake a DBS (formerly CRB) check free of cost.

We are supported by the Good Neighbours Network

Give the Group a try – you will probably enjoy it and make new friends at the same time!
