TILLINGTON LOCAL CARE (TLC) ANNUAL REPORT to 31 OCTOBER 2025
TLC stands for Tillington Local Care. It is registered at The Old Post House, Tillington GU28 9AF and was set up on 9 September 2009.
The Trustees are Mrs Barbara Neighbour (Chair), *Mrs Carmen Woodhatch, Mr Mark Lavington (Treasurer), Mr Gerald Gresham Cooke, Secretary, Dr. Anthony Gibbon, Mrs Andrina Lunt and Mr Michael Wheller. New Trustees are recruited from the existing Drivers List , thus ensuring continuity of our ethos.
TLC 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 17 different patients, helped by 19 drivers/helpers on 79 different occasions, an average of nearly one and a half a week. We drove 1020 miles, with an average of 13 miles a trip. Our Committee Members manned the mobile telephone 365 days of the year.
We are financed by obtaining Grants from the Sussex Community Fund, and occasional donations.
