CARERS DIRECTORY
The VIC is based at Lancaster District Council for Voluntary
Service. If you are interested
in doing some voluntary work, make an appointment to see someone at the VIC and
they will talk to you about what you would like to do and what the possibilities
are.

British Red Cross
The British Red Cross welcomes people who can work within the Home from
Hospital Service. You will
have the satisfaction of knowing that your work will be appreciated and
worthwhile and you will gain valuable community experience. All new volunteers
receive training. The training is
lively and informative and provides an opportunity to meet other volunteers to
learn about other British Red Cross Services. Volunteers are reimbursed for all
out-of-pocket expenses and are covered by Red Cross insurance.
Support is always available from the Co-ordinator with access to
professional advice if needed. We
hold regular group meetings, both formal and informal.

Lonsdale District Carers
Lonsdale District Carers would welcome new volunteers, who are willing to
help people that are going through similar feelings and situations as they have
been. The training that new volunteers receive is not rigid, and allows people
to enjoy themselves while they learn new skills, as well as providing the
opportunity to meet other carers. Volunteers can be reimbursed for their travel
expenses, and all other out of pocket expenses. They can always get support from
the Project Manager and the other administrative staff.
