I RECENTLY heard in the news that Cornwall has the most people volunteering. Where are these people? We, at Age Concern Porthleven, have been crying out for members, helpers and drivers for years, with only limited success. The last lady that contacted me didn't turn up.!

We are a small group that meet on Thursdays at the Public Hall and have a variety of things going on. By the very nature of our group many of our members are not able to do much physically but we have various speakers, local choirs and other musical groups, plus bingo, quizzes etc. as entertainment.

We have our own minibus which is used to bring members to the hall and, once a week, out lunch and shopping. For some members this is their only opportunity to visit a supermarket on a regular basis.

Anyone over 50 is eligible to get help from Age UK and so are welcome to join us, helping can be fun and very rewarding. You need no special skills or qualifications and, for drivers, no special license.

PLEASE, PLEASE if you feel can help at all please call me on 01326-574269 or e-mail jeg29@tiscali.

Thank you.
