VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteers often comment on how interesting and rewarding it is to meet and help a variety of people. Why not find this out for yourself?
Drivers
We need drivers for both local and longer journeys. You choose when and where you are willing to drive. Taking people to local appointments is as helpful as going to more distant destinations.
We do not ask for a regular time commitment. Drivers agree to each journey on an individual basis.
Our drivers use their own cars, give their time freely, but are paid a mileage allowance.
Other Helpers
We would also welcome people willing to do small jobs around Mere such as shopping, collecting prescriptions etc.
Funding
Our income comes mainly from the donations we receive from users of the Linkscheme.
We are also grateful to the organisers of the Mere Literary Festival which is held annually in October and which provides a vital contribution towards expenses.
We do not receive any other grants.
