Hartlebury Common Local Group – why not volunteer to help the conservation work on Hartlebury Common on first Sunday and third Saturday of each month on Hartlebury Common and also on some Thursdays during each month (usually two). All ages of people are very welcome, however, children and young people under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian. We meet at 09.30 am at one of the Hartlebury Common car parks depending on the task which are many and varied across the whole of the common. As long as volunteers are there at 9.30 am they can stay for as little or as long and they wish and there is no regular commitment – volunteers just come and go as their life determines.

Could you help support an older person returning home from hospital? After a stay in hospital many older people feel vulnerable, isolated and unable to cope with day to day life. They are often on their own, trying to adapt to changes in their lives. We are looking for caring people who can spare a few hours to support older people to regain their independence and improve their quality of life. Training, personal development, peer support and expenses are available for these rewarding opportunities. Contact Hereford and Worcester Age UK now on: 0800 0086077
