Could you help a lady in Bakewell with her shopping? If you're available once a fortnight to do a shop at the Co-op for some basics and fresh items, please get in touch. For someone who is housebound, a regular shop is a lifeline. Make a difference - call 01335 348600.
A powerful report by @IsabellaMcrae on the failings of the 'target-driven' PIP assessment process.
