We are working with the Parish Councils, Cheshire East Council, Audlem Public Hall, Audlem Medical Practice, Boots Chemists, Audlem Coop, the Lord Combermere and other local groups and churches.
ADCA staff and volunteers continue to support the 80 older people and 100 carers we already work with, as well as a growing number of new people who have referred themselves to us for help.
Do you know anyone who might need help?
If you know of any neighbours or local friends who may need support and don't know them well enough to provide it yourself, or you are unable to, please refer them on to ADCA (with their permission).
We may also need more volunteers to help us!
We have had a wonderful response to our call for volunteers and we thank everyone who has come forward so far. The situation is changing all the time, and we may need more volunteers. If you would like to help, please contact us by telephone or email and we will contact you and put you on our reserve list.
If you get 'called up' we will arrange a DBS check for you and give you an induction for your specific volunteer role.
You will understand that we need to safeguard the vulnerable people we are working with.
