Volunteering with Wythenshawe Wanderers is a great opportunity to help provide services to those most in need in your neighbourhood. It can also be a very rewarding activity that will utilise and enhance your skills and experience. Wythenshawe Wanderers volunteer drivers make a real difference to people’s lives across Wythenshawe.
• To assist service users to access personal, social and healthcare appointments.
• To assist service users to shop independently.
• To make door step calls and to deliver our activity packs
All volunteer drivers attend an induction programme. For this scheme volunteer drivers donate their time free of charge however, drivers are reimbursed the HMRC rate of 45p per mile which contributes to the cost of fuel, insurance and maintenance on their vehicles.

Following the latest Coronavirus (Covid-19) guidelines, we wanted to update you on our services.
As many of our services take place in public places such as pubs, social clubs and football clubs we are bound by their advice and guidance. Recent news on Monday 16th March advised non essential travel and avoiding pubs, restaurants etc. So, we have decided, during this period of uncertainty, to cancel our trip to Chester and to postpone breakfast, coffee mornings and lunches for the next few weeks. We have decided to extend our telephone befriending service to any self isolating person who feels that a regular “how are you” phone call would benefit them. Just a 15 minute phone call can change a person’s day and make a real difference.
