Swine Flu - Can You Help?
Ashton, Leigh and Wigan NHS are looking for volunteers to work as visitors during the present influenza pandemic (swine flu).
They need volunteer help with the following roles:
A) Volunteer Flu Friend – this involves the collection and delivery of medication. (must be CRB checked).
B) Flu Friend Plus – which involves the above plus helping with shopping, walking the dog, etc. (must be CRB checked).
C) Promotion of Self-Reliance – making sure that people are aware that swine flu HAS NOT gone away and letting them know that to access medication they will need to be able to send someone to collect it for them and that they should start to consider this now.
If you feel you could help in any of these roles, then please contact Lynne Calvert on 01942-481725.
