VOLUNTEERS are being sought for a new branch of a carers hub that will be opening in Craven.

Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust’s new branch aims to make a difference to people caring for family and friends, and will offer a space to access professional and clinical staff, provide information on relevant topics and health awareness sessions and a timetable of free activities such as art and pampering sessions, quiz and games activities.

The new facility is set to open in December at Dyneley House Surgery in Skipton, and the trust is asking people to register their interest to volunteer at the new Craven branch.

Trust volunteers help with a range of activities including hosting coffee mornings, research and development projects, patient feedback and walks.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to take part in an induction on Saturday, September 23, at Shipley College.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer at the carers hub branch in Craven, contact Clare Bancroft on 01274 322662 or email volunteer@bdct.nhs.uk
