COURSES FOR VOLUNTEERS

We have arranged 2 courses that will be of benefit to our volunteers.

• The British Red Cross will run another Everyday First Aid session for Wheel of Care volunteers on Friday 6th September 2019 from 10:30am to 12:30pm at West Horsley Village Hall.

• Surrey Community Action will run another Driver Awareness Course on Wednesday 18th September 2019 from 10:00am to 1:00pm at The Wheelhouse.  It is open to all registered volunteers who drive for the Wheel of Care.

Further details can be found on the News & Events page.

Invitations will be emailed to volunteers about 3 – 4 weeks before each course but if you are interested in attending either course, you can contact Nicki Douet by emailing her at douet93@btinternet.com.  

THE WHEEL'S FOUR CLUBS

Please see "Our Clubs" and "News & Events" for information on our four clubs and when and where they operate.  Alternatively, for more information about any of our clubs, please ring the Duty Officer on 01483 281703 (Monday-Friday 10am-noon).

All our clubs are open to all in West Horsley and neighbouring villages so you don't have to live in West Horsley to join in.  No booking is required ... just turn up!   Free transport to all our clubs is available for those living in the Horsleys, Effingham and Ockham - just ring the Duty Officer on 01483 281703 (Monday-Friday 10am-noon).  Anyone living outside the Horsleys, Effingham and Ockham is very welcome to attend but we ask that they organise their own transport please.

MESSAGE FROM A CLIENT

It is always lovely to hear from our clients!  We recently received the following message from a client whom we have been helping for the past year or so:

"Many, many thanks to West Horsley Wheel of Care for organising so efficiently my car lifts to the Scrabble sessions and Film Club.  It has made such a difference to my life this year when I have been unable to drive and enabling me to meet people and start a new pastime.  Also, thanks for the cups of tea and delicious cake.  Everything much appreciated."

THE QUEEN'S AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE

It was announced on 2nd June 2015 that the Wheel of Care had been honoured with The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK and the equivalent of an MBE for voluntary groups. Please click on the link immediately below The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service logo to the right for a copy of the press release regarding this prestigious award.

SNOW/ICE AND THE CLUBS

If there is snow/ice on the ground, it is highly likely that all Wheel of Care clubs will be cancelled.  If you are unsure whether a club is going ahead, please ring the Duty Officer on 01483 281703 (Monday-Friday 10am-noon).  We will also post an update on this page if any club is cancelled due to the weather.
