We launch our brand new Community Outreach Vehicle
This new vehicle will allow us to provide help and advice to remote locations across Dorset
Weldmar Hospicecare has launched an exciting, brand new service. Our first Community Outreach Vehicle, which will allow us to reach even more people across Dorset with help, advice, and information.
Funded by the money raised in our 2019 Christmas Appeal – which aimed to reduce loneliness and isolation in Dorset – as well as a donation from the Werth Foundation, the Community Outreach Vehicle will be visiting towns, villages, and hamlets across the county, manned by members of our team who can provide a chat and a cuppa to visitors.
The ribbon was cut by Mayor of Dorchester, Cllr Richard Biggs.
Take a look with our Director of Fundraising and Marketing, Matt Smith:
The vehicle will visit a number of local towns for the first time over the next few days, where you can come along to have a look and find out more:
