Care for Guildford (Free Transport Scheme)
Care for Guildford - What We Do
We are a good neighbour scheme, a network of volunteers providing practical help to improve the quality of life for elderly, vulnerable or infirm residents of Guildford.
The type and demand for services has changed over the years and today we maintain some 150 volunteers helping Guildford residents in need.
These days, transport to GP surgeries, clinics, dentists and hospitals are the main tasks we undertake. But we also do shopping on behalf of a client or doing small one off jobs in the home like putting up shelves or changing light bulbs.
We provide a number of services that include:
Transport
Primarily we take clients to Medical appointments , Dentists, Clinics, Clubs, Day Centres and Hospital appointments.
Shopping
We shop on a weekly or fortnightly basis for anyone who is housebound. We can also shop on a temporary basis, for example when someone first comes out of hospital.
Odd Jobs
We help with small one off jobs around the home such as putting up simple shelves or curtain rails, moving heavy furniture or changing a light bulb for those with limited mobility. We do not undertake housework, plumbing, gardening or electrical repairs.
