| Recipient Org: Description | The villages of Tilford and Rushmoor (Surrey) are very rural areas where public transport is in particularly short supply. Residents who are unable to drive, who are fearful of driving outside the area or do not wish to navigate the roads when it is dark, often become very isolated. This applies to elderly people in particular, who may often stay at home for many days without seeing or speaking to anyone. _x000D_ _x000D_ Tilford and Rushmoor Neighbours Scheme (TARNS) is a small community group, formed in 2011, to provide practical help to those in need in the neighbourhood of Tilford and Rushmoor. It is funded by fundraising activities, donations and client contributions for car journeys. Tasks are undertaken by around 24 active volunteers in the locality who man the mobile phone on a rota basis. Volunteers provide transport to appointments at the doctor, dentist, and hospital and so on for just a small donation. Volunteers will also help with shopping, collecting prescriptions, changing library books, as well as providing home visits, befriending and dog walking. When calls are received they are logged and a volunteer found to undertake the task. All volunteers are interviewed, DBS -screened and references taken before being accepted as a volunteer. Volunteers are required to check that their insurance covers the voluntary driving duties, and in some cases are required to obtain a signature from their insurance company to confirm this. The scheme is managed by 7 people. |
