Volunteers needed for The Real Neighbours Wythenshawe Phone Buddy Scheme
The Real Neighbours Wythenshawe are looking for volunteers to help support the vulnerable members of the community that are currently alone in isolation.

For more information on how you can volunteers contact Dan on 0741 094 3055 or email: [email protected]
