Volunteer Drivers Wanted to help older people get to local groups. If you would like to help an older person access local groups such as Singing for Health, the Cyrenians Befriending Service would love to hear from you. The Befriending Service helps alleviate loneliness and isolation in older people. One of the ways we do this is by assisting people to get out and about in their community. Volunteer drivers are urgently required in the Livingston area. Expenses are reimbursed at 45p per mile. If you would like to find out more please contact Lorna or Kathryn on 01506 815815 or email befriendingWL@cyrenians.scot
