I am writing on behalf Sammy Community Bus Service which is a charity in BOgnor Regis that helps those in need with transport assistance re doctors , hospital appointments as well as shopping trips.
Next year we are looking to expand the way we help people by introducing trips to places of interest , local towns for shopping, afternoon drives with tea , pub lunches etc. To assist with this we are looking to enlist the support of volunteers to act as escorts on these trips to assist the volunteer drivers.
Is this something any of your members would like to get involved with ? The commitment would not too onerous – perhaps 1 or 2 outings per month if that.
What we would plan to do is email the list of trips a month or so in advance to anyone interested in helping and all they need to do is email back with a yes or no. FRom my experience as a driver the trips are extremely rewarding .
I should also mention that we are always on the look out for more volunteer drivers as well…
If it helps I am more than happy to meet with anyone / telephone anyone to discuss this further.
Now if I may can I put on my Rotarian Hat on. I notice from your excellent website ( once you find it , some interesting ones on the way !! ) that you had a speaker called Betty Houghton talk about her time at Bletchley Park. Is she a local lady ? If so I would love her to give a talk at one of our meetings. Any help on how to contact Betty would also be much appreciated.
I very much look forward to hearing from someone in due course.
