The Lichfield-based trust helps to support people facing loneliness.

Chairman Stephen Sanders added:

“Our volunteers have kept up their commitment all the way through the Covid crisis, drawing up phone rotas to keep in touch with our clients to make sure they were safe and lending a helping hand when needed.

“Our drivers even joined forces with Lichfield District Council to help people who were shielding with their shopping.”
