Across Wiltshire there are schemes to link volunteers who will drive or help to those who need lifts to doctors or help with shopping or other small tasks. There was a meeting on 22nd November to move forward on a scheme in Wootton Bassett. Three of us, Mary, the Mayor, Cllr Doyle and I, agree to form a steering group. We will work out what is needed in WB and try to gather people together to organise it.

If you’d like to join us, contact me. Are you an organiser, a treasurer, into PR? We need you!

The organization Community First provides support for these groups. Read more about them at
