The scheme is mainly,
but not exclusively for the elderly. It
is for anyone feeling in need of help.
Local people volunteer their services,
from befriending to transport and DIY.
The scheme would provide a resource, not
only of helpers, but linking to other organisations
and reliable tradesmen.
Coordinated by the
Beds Rural Communities Charity, there
are 25 villages on board.
Could such a scheme
work in Cranfield?

STOP PRESS!
An
informal get together, for anyone who
would like to know more, has been arranged
for Thursday 26th June, 7.45pm for 8pm
at The Cross Keys. A free drink and nibbles
will be provided. Justine Hunt from Beds
Rural Communities Charity will explain
how the scheme works and answer any questions. |
