What we are looking for Volunteers:
If you are looking for AD Hoc volunteering that can really make a difference we may be for you!
By Your Side is a home from hospital project that supports Thurrock residents settling home after a spell in hospital.
The project does not provide any medical, personal care or cleaning but helps with many things for example:
-Wellbeing calls and visits to make sure all is ok and for a chat.
-Shopping, maybe as a one off or for up to 6 weeks, while someone is recuperating.
- Helping staff make someone’s home suitable by moving furniture, checking the fridge, tidying.
- Signposting and introducing to other services.
All out of pocket expenses are reimbursed and mileage paid.
BYS also tries to arrange a quarterly get together so volunteers can meet up and socialise.
What skills do I need?
A happy to help attitude is always welcome.
Drivers preferred as we cover all of Thurrock.
