We\u2019re now sitting comfortably in autumn and winter is fast approaching, the trees have dropped their orange coats and we\u2019re left slipping about on patches of leafy-mush as a consequence. Melancholic or just a bit annoying? I don\u2019t know, a bit of both maybe.<\/p>\n
Either way \u2013 the seasonal shift brings with it\u00a0a possibility of harsh and debilitating weather conditions; icy roads, frozen cars and over-snowed front-gardens can all become commonplace. Unfortunately, not all of us are fit and able to deal\u00a0them.<\/p>\n
This is the motive that drives Winter Planning as\u00a0a community development project \u2013 helping those who are prone to struggle during extreme weather conditions. Hospitals and housing associations come under increased stress\u00a0due to elderly people\u00a0being handicapped by the weather, it\u00a0is clear\u00a0that this is\u00a0an issue deserving of attention and care.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re always looking for volunteers \u2013 it\u2019s very simple and efficient, you simply sign up and we\u2019ll contact you when\/if someone contacts the\u00a0emergency line for help. Help may involve\u00a0collecting and delivering\u00a0household essentials or helping them shovel some snow!<\/p>\n
Be sure to forward our contact details to those who may find themselves in need and those who would like to put themselves forward as a volunteer.<\/p>\n
Thank you to the projects current volunteers and partners, best wishes!<\/p>\n
