Whitton Network

What We Do: We can help with those tasks that a good neighbour would do for someone.

Need a Lift?

Lifts from your home to local hospitals, GP surgeries, dentists, clinics and chiropodists.

Door to Door

Transport to local shops, post offices, hairdressers, social clubs and leisure classes.

Companionship

We visit people who are isolated and in need of company and friendship and maybe a little help with some of their household paperwork.

Shopping

Our volunteers can do your shopping and collect prescriptions from pharmacists for you.

Information

We provide three newsletters a year, which include useful information, and we ‘signpost’ clients to the relevant organisations which may be able to meet their additional requirements.

Carer Support

We also provide a Carer Support Service with volunteers providing cover for carers when they have to attend dental, hospital or GP appointments

Outings Programme

Visits to local places of interest where we often enjoy lunch or tea together.
