As many people know, we run a small Volunteer Transport Service to help people get to medical appointments. Our service is for those who cannot drive, don't have anyone else available to take them, cannot afford a taxi and have been unable to secure the hospital patient transport service. So we really are the last resort.

Since we started the service in the summer of 2021, the team has completed over 250 trips and raised in excess of £1,000 in donations - all very gratefully received.

The volunteers don't get paid to provide this service - they all do it at their own expense and with a smile on their face. The wonderful comments about the team are too numerous to mention here but congratulations and thank you VERY much to Geoff, Geoff, Jane, Jill and Richard - you are all amazing! 

We were delighted to welcome the Manager of Nantwich Foodbank, Damien Gear, to talk at our Team Meeting in October. The Foodbank is an incredible resource for our town and the statistics are incredible.

They have supported over 18,000 people in the 10 years since they started and distributed 332 tonnes of food. In 2023 over 2220 people have received help with over 46,000 meals distributed.

In partnership with the Food Festival Team, the Foodbank will be running its annual 'Drop and Go' Reverse Advent Calendar (below) event on 25th November. People are encouraged to collect the listed items throughout November (it doesn't have to be everything) and donate at Brine Leas school on 25th.

We'll be there again helping to sort in the storeroom - please support this event, it will make so many Christmases happier.
