About
EWH Neighbourcare are an enthusiastic and very friendly group of about 25 volunteers who, if you need help, can drive yo to hospital, to your doctor’s surgery, dentist and other places or collect prescriptions for you.
Arrange Your Appointment
If you need help getting to your appointments ring one of our friendly coordinators who will find a driver for you. The drivers give their time freely so there is no charge for our services. We just ask for a small voluntary donation to cover the expenses of the driver. The co-ordinators can be contacted on our central telephone number.
Become a Volunteer
In a typical year we will drive over 6,000 miles for over 150 clients, some regular and others not so regular. Most of these journeys are local but frequently we are asked for drives further afield such as Reading, Oxford or Southampton. During the pandemic lockdowns we delivered over 5,000 prescriptions to clients. If you are interested in driving for us, you do not need to commit to any number of journeys or to when you do them. It is also fine if you only want to do local journeys. You only need to drive when and as often as is convenient for you. Why don’t you come and meet us and join us as a volunteer driver? It is not only a service to the community, but also a good way of meeting new people and great fun. If you would like more information on driving or would like to volunteer call our Secretary, Chris Sketchley on 07770 834592
