Drivers and Companions wanted : MECOSS looking for volunteers

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

If you’re interested in paying forward, here is an opportunity.
Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS0 is seeking volunteer drivers and companions for its shopping shuttle.

Every Thursday, the shuttle takes people, who often live alone or and no longer drive, to Botany Town Centre or Pakuranga Plaza for shopping and a cuppa.

They have a chance to talk, ask questions, walk around and form friendships. Drivers are mainly responsible for arranging the times and routes for pick-ups and delivering their passengers safely.

Companion’s help clients get into and out of the vehicle and assist with seatbelts. They can also book a walker or scooter for passengers to use at the shopping centres if required.

If you are interested phone Maureen on 0800 632 677
