Tuesday 24 March 2020

As you are all aware these are unprecedented times and difficult choices have to be made. With this in mind and after regular discussions with Rochdale Adult Care Services we have taken the decision to suspend the HMR Circle Volunteer Drivers Service. 
We want to thank all our Volunteers for their dedication and support in making the HMR Circle Volunteer Drivers Service the success it is. Without their amazing dedication and that of Mary in the office pulling all of it together we simply wouldn't have a service.

Our Volunteer Drivers have gone above and beyond what could reasonably be expected and have ensured that older people and vulnerable adults in the borough are looked after.

The service is suspended, but we will come back stronger thanks to their hard work, dedication and inspiration. 

In closing, again we would like thank you our Volunteer Drivers for their dedication and support, please stay safe and we look forward to when we can all get together to celebrate what is an amazing service.
