Community Responders
Can you help AGE UK (Northampton)
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and Kirsty Kovacs, we have recently become Coordinators for the Community Responder service. We are currently taking referrals from the Intermediate Care Team and Virtual Care Team hubs to provide support to older adults across Northamptonshire.
Our volunteers support with a variety of tasks including but not exclusive to, packing a bag prior to hospital admission, offering reassurance and a listening ear, collecting an emergency prescription, delivering mobility equipment or helping a person contact family or friends. We follow up all visits completed by our volunteers with the older person and signpost or refer to other services if ongoing support in required.
The service currently runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 3.15pm.
To help us reach as many older people as possible in our community and to allow us to continue to build on the number of volunteers we have available to offer support, we kindly ask that you update the information you currently provide in your Parish regarding our service with the attached information which has updated contact details.
If you would like to discuss the support we can offer further, or are hosting any events that you feel it would suitable for us to attend, please do not hesitate to get in touch on 07881 230222.
Kind regards,
Kirsty Simms
