How it works

If you qualify as a resident of one of the villages identified on the home page all you have to do is to ring the co-ordinator on the dedicated Wilton Link number

01722-741241

This is likely to be an answerphone request for you to provide details of the task you want the scheme to undertake.

We operate a system of joint co-ordinators on a rota system so you will be contacted by one of these. A list of co-ordinators is shown on the Members page.

You should be clear and precise about the task you wish to be undertaken and include any additional tasks (such as shopping) after a main task. You should also include details of any special needs. A co-ordinator will get back to you as soon as he/she can. There is no need to ring again. 

You should give us as much forward notice as you can. If your request changes or is no longer necessary please notify the co-ordinator immediately.

The volunteer will arrive at the appointed time. He/She will be carrying an identity card. If it a car journey the volunteer will, if necessary, help you from your home to the vehicle and will do the same when you arrive back. If it is a hospital or doctor’s appointment the volunteer will accompany you to wherever you have to go. If there is likely to be a long wait the volunteer might opt to go home and return later.

There is no charge for the service. However you are invited to put an anonymous donation into an envelope and hand it to the volunteer. When considering how much to donate, remember that the volunteer will be paid a mileage allowance of 45p per mile from his home and back. The amount you decide upon will be a function of what you consider the task to be worth to you and what you can afford.

You cannot try to arrange for a later task directly with the volunteer. All tasks must go through a co-ordinator.
