FriendShop - New Shopping Service
South Derbyshire CVS is now offering FriendShop a new Shopping Service for people who struggle to get out to do essential shopping (for example, due to ill health or a disability).
One of our friendly and trusted volunteers will come and collect the person's shopping list and return with the items they need.
FriendShop can provide short-term help or a regular service.
If you or your family, friends or service users would benefit from this kind of help please contact us.
A fee is charged for each shop to cover our running costs plus the cost of the volunteer's mileage.
To refer someone to the scheme, or to find out more, contact Alyson Key, Shopping Scheme Co-ordinator on 01283 551766 or E-mail alysonk@sdcvs.org.ukDownload a Poster (PDF File, 119KB)
