The British Red Cross is looking for people with time to spare each week in Chelmsford.

The charity is in need of volunteers for its new Support at Home and Assisted Discharge service, which is based at Broomfield Hospital. Volunteers will make home visits to those who would benefit from a little help after their hospital stay, enabling them to live independently again, and reduce the risk of them needing to be readmitted to hospital.

For more information join the information event at 7pm on Thursday, August 31 at Chelmsford Red Cross, New London Road, Chelmsford.
