Our Escorting Scheme provides volunteers for regular or one-off outings that the service user would otherwise find difficult to complete. For example, you may escort a service user around a Supermarket once a fortnight or accompany them on a trip to the coast, pushing their wheelchair on your arrival (for which training will be provided). Escorting may also involve helping service users on and off of buses. Whilst the volunteer is not expected to support the service user’s weight you can provide a steadying arm and offer reassurance. Our escorting scheme covers the Forest Hill & Sydenham area. If you would like to find out more open our task description at the bottom of this page or email sarah@voluntarycarecentre.co.uk. go back
