Drivers for elderly peoples Lunch Club - Great Baddow

For St Mary's Church Lunch Club

Register your interest

Can you spare a couple of hours on your Tuesday lunch break?

Are you kind, patient, and able to drive?

We need cheerful, helpful volunteers with their own car to safely drive (mainly elderly) people to and from a weekly lunch club in Great Baddow, Chelmsford.

The lunches are every Tuesday at St Mary's Church in Great Baddow, from 11.45 to 13.15.

For some of the ladies and gentlemen that attend, this lunch club is the only chance they have to sit and chat to other people. For others it might be their only home-cooked meal. If you can collect them from their homes, lend a helping hand in getting out of the car, and make sure they get home safely afterwards then we would be most grateful.


Your mileage is reimbursed, and DBS check will be done for you, free of charge.  

A few of the people may have to fit a walking frame in the car.

Anyone who you are asked to drive will be a Great Baddow resident.

What skills do I need?

Your own car, that is insured, taxed and road-safe.

Patience, a good sense of humour, and kindness.

The ability to lend a helping hand or supporting arm as they get in and out of the vehicle -  no other manual handling or supporting will be asked of you.

You will not be asked to enter anyone's home, share personal information, or drive them anywhere else.
