Contact The Elderly - Volunteer Drivers & Afternoon Hosts Required

Once a month on a Sunday afternoon local elderly people, who are without family in the area, are taken out
by volunteer car drivers for a little ride before going to the homes of volunteer hosts and hostesses for Sunday
afternoon tea.
We only ask our volunteer hosts to entertain up to six elderly people and two
drivers or one driver with up to three elderly people once or twice a year.
A downstairs cloakroom is a must.
Reserve drivers are always wanted when the regulars are unavailable. This
would be possibly two or three times a year.
Elderly people who would like to take part in one of these afternoons are
welcome to join the group but must be able to get in and out of a car, as we
can’t take zimmers or wheelchairs. There is no charge.

Patient > I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
Doctor > Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it... don’t waste them on exercise.
Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer ; that’s like
saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Patient > Is swimming good for your figure?
Doctor > If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Patient > Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
Doctor > Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing
sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
