Bay Volunteers
Westmorland and Furness
Lancaster
Bay Volunteers is a community-based service which supports the needs of people and communities across the Lancaster District, especially those who are elderly, vulnerable, isolated and/or housebound. We work with many partners, including UK Government, Lancaster City Council, Lancaster District Community Hub, Lancaster District CVS, Lancaster, Bay and Carnforth Integrated Care Communities, Lancaster Medical Practice, Queen Square Surgery, Bay Medical Group, and many others to bring support to those in our community who need it.
As part of Bay Volunteers, volunteers can sign up and pick which missions they would like to do, when they do them and how much they want to volunteer. The missions that we receive, which our volunteers take up, mainly include either: shopping for/with someone, collecting and delivering post/parcels, collecting and delivering prescriptions, a listening call/in-person visit/walk, patient transport, digital support, and/or supporting someone initially to attend a community group. It's volunteering in your hands!
