TLC ANNUAL REPORT to 31 OCTOBER 2024
TLC is now fifteen years old, and remains a Charity entirely run by volunteers to help anyone in Tillington Parish who needs advice or help.
Our main activity remains driving people to medical appointments or collecting shopping and prescriptions when they are unable to do it themselves but although we have 28 volunteer drivers on our books, we are much more than just a chauffeur service.
We give advice on ‘grant applications’, provide a wheelchair or walking aid, and facilitate the sourcing of a range of medical aids from handrails to bath stools, and raised loo seats to wee bottles.
So, if residents are stuck at home, or maybe just out of hospital and need assistance, they only have to ring us, and we will do our very best to find a solution to their problem. It is a free service for the parish community.
It continues to be a free service, financed by grants and donations.
Last year, we served 21 different patients, helped by 22 drivers/helpers on 88 different occasions, an average of nearly one and a half a week. We drove 1324 miles, with an average of 18 miles a trip. Our Committee Members manned the mobile telephone 365 days of the year.
