Community Response is here!
We are pleased to announce that we are now open for Community Response referrals in Epsom and Ewell. You can make referrals here: https://nhscarevolunteerresponders.org/referral.
What can Community Response volunteers help with?
Community Response volunteers can support with tasks such as shopping for food and essential items, as well as picking up and delivering prescriptions
Volunteers can help different people, like those who are waiting to be admitted or discharged from hospital, or vulnerable individuals who require assistance while their care giver takes a break.
How can I make a referral
Simply log a referral request through the GoodSAM portal.
You can create a tailored support package by referring someone to multiple Volunteer Responder services all at once. For example, someone may benefit from a friendly phone call from the 'Check In and Chat' service, along with prescription delivery through the Community Response service.
