Our November Newsletter is now out!
Our November Newsletter has news of our newly-launched Volunteer Drivers Scheme.
The service was launched at an event at Wythenshawe Football Club on Thursday 19 October. Guests included WGN Members and representatives from community organisations from across Wythenshawe. The membership scheme will see volunteers driving older people to health & wellbeing appointments and activities across Wythenshawe – helping to combat transport challenges, social isolation and impacts of the cost-of-living crisis. Journeys will start from 1 November 2023.
