WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEER DRIVERS IN THE GREATER MANCHESTER AREA THAT CAN UNDERTAKE TRIPS TO LOCAL HEALTHCARE CENTRES Transport for Sick Children (TfSC) is a charity where a team of volunteers drive sick children to hospital appointments throughout the Greater Manchester area. Our mission is to reduce stress and barriers to a family by enabling children to attend important medical appointments despite any transport, financial or social issues they have. Over the past 5 years we have helped almost 4000 children, undertaken 32,000 trips and driven over 500,000 miles. Volunteer drivers (who are all checked for their suitability to work with children) use their own cars to collect the child along with their carer and drive them to their medical appointment. They then wait until the appointment has finished and take them home. Some drivers are out on the road most days and others a few times a month. We supply child car seats and drivers are reimbursed for petrol costs on a monthly basis. What is it like being a volunteer? ‘I’m not one for sitting back so when I retired for a ‘second’ time I started volunteering for the charity. I’ve always had driving in my blood and have had a disabled son from the age of 2 (he is now 36). I’ve been to many hospital appointments and can appreciate the problems faced by parents who are not as fortunate and hopefully my work with the charity will alleviate some of these problems. It is good to be associated with an organisation where the staff are all very willing, obliging, efficient and pleasant. Nothing seems like too much trouble, even when I’m unable to accept a request for transport’ Michael Chadwick, volunteer driver. The support team Making the vital link between families, referrers and volunteer drivers is a friendly, experienced team in the office. The Support team assigns drivers to appointments and co-ordinates communication between drivers and carers to ensure trips run smoothly. Interested in becoming a volunteer? If you can spare a few hours a week, have your own car and want to help improve the lives and health of children in Greater Manchester then why not consider volunteering for the charity?
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please visit our website or give Laura or Beverley a call on 0161 443 4122. http://transportforsickchildren.org/volunteers/
