Thurrock CVS: By Your Side Project
The By Your Side project supports people in Thurrock, often elderly or vulnerable to settle home from hospital with the support of volunteers. By Your Side can offer friendly face to face support for up to 6 weeks to help with shopping, collecting prescriptions, or helping to rearrange light furniture to accommodate walking frames or hospital equipment. Following the 6 weeks support, we can help connect people back into their local community or voluntary sector organisations.
