Opening Times
Our office is now open to the public, we are currently having to limit numbers in the office so please call 01386 554299 for an appointment.
Prescriptions
As the Government withdraws its funding for prescription delivery services, many medical practices and pharmacies around the country are withdrawing this free service. Pershore Volunteer Centre, which had never received any Government funding and relies solely on volunteers helpers and public donations, will continue to provide its delivery service in Pershore for the time being. So long as we have willing volunteers and there is a demand we will deliver prescriptions to those who continue to self isolate.
Please continue to contact the Volunteer Centre on 01386 554299
Transport to Appointments
As the area slowly comes out of lockdown, we have seen a steady increase in the number of routine hospital, dental and medical centre appointments. This has resulted in an increase in the number of requests we have received from people who have no access to transport and need help getting to their appointment. This is a service which Pershore Volunteer Centre has continued to provide throughout the whole of the lockdown. We are now ratcheting up our provision, so if you need transport to your medical appointment or could help us provide transport for others, anywhere in Pershore or the surrounding villages, please contact Donna King 01386 554299

We’re really proud of the way our volunteers have responded during the Coronavirus crisis, by either keeping themselves safe, or helping to keep our clients and the wider community safe. However, the impact on our charity’s finances has been enormous, so we have just launched a Crowdfunding campaign on Spacehive, to try and make up for some of the income we have lost during the crisis. The total we have set ourselves is £7456 and the good news is that as long as we can raise 50% of the total, Wychavon District Council will pledge the rest, so in effect our target is £3728, but the bad news is that our deadline is 31 st August.
We do need to spread the word as widely and as quickly as we can so that as many people as possible will consider making a contribution to our campaign, and we’re also asking you to share this information with friends, family, colleagues or business acquaintances. All you need to do is spare a couple of minutes to pledge some money for our charity; pledges can be made through the Spacehive website using PayPal, or simply with a debit/credit card, and no money will be taken until we reach our target.
Our fundraising campaign is based on the community services we have delivered during the crisis, and you can find more information, as well as how to donate, in the following link to our project on the Spacehive website Pershore Volunteers to Keep in Touch
