So you need a helping hand?
If you are in Dunstable, and vulnerable/disabled/elderly/desperate, please phone us on 07491 455777.
We can collect and deliver your prescription, help with a bit of shopping, collect from the food bank where appropriate, do occasional small tasks around the house or garden, such as changing a hard to reach light bulb or filling in one of those tricky forms.
We may also be able to help you to sort out any problems with your laptop etc.
Or we can just come and have a friendly chat, if that’s what you need.
