Befriending
We offer a befriending service for those who may be faced with challenging times or who may be feeling lonely and isolated.
This service is managed by our coordinator who will call you to make an appointment at which she will discuss your needs. This will enable her to select a suitable volunteer to team up with you.
Our volunteers are different ages and come from all walks of life. They have been through a thorough application process and cleared regulatory security checks. We aim to match you with someone who will provide real support and company.
Please contact our Befriending Co-ordinator for more information.
Telephone 07554 997140 or complete the form below.
You can also drop in to see her by prior appointment at the Modbury Parish Office, 1 Modbury Court, Modbury, PL21 0QR.
Transport Service
Modbury Caring provides and manages a car service that offers transport for people, enabling them to attend health-related appointments (doctor, dentist, optician, hospital, etc.). If you have no car, are unable to drive or have problems getting to your appointment, consider using our Car Service.
Our drivers are all volunteers, who use their own cars and receive expenses for their fuel etc. Each has been DBS checked to ensure they have nothing in their past that might indicate their unsuitability for this role. We also provide a Prescription Delivery Service for those unable to collect their repeat prescriptions.
The service is free, but we invite users to make a contribution towards costs. Suggested donations are:
£5 – £10 to Modbury
£10 – £15 to Kingsbridge and Ivybridge
£30 for longer journeys to Derriford or Torbay Hospitals
To book transport, please telephone Bill Cole on 01548 830913 or Sue Rogers on 01548 831289
