CLUBS in Dorset for older people are in desperate need of volunteers and drivers in order to stay open.
The charity Brendoncare’s clubs in Boscombe, Broadstone, Ferndown and Christchurch are all appealing for help.
Brendoncare locality manager Tony Hanson said: “These clubs provide their members, most of whom are in their 80s and 90s and live alone, with a really valuable trip out of their home each week. They enjoy meeting their friends, guest speakers and entertainers, activities, outings and informative talks. But we really need to recruit more general helpers and volunteer drivers to keep the clubs going.”
Volunteers are supported by professional staff. Ring Mr Hanson on 01202 722211 or 07900 918017 or visit brendoncare.org.uk.
