Beyond call of duty in snow (From South Wales Argus)

Beyond call of duty in snow

3:03pm Monday 28th January 2013 in Letters

WRVS volunteers have been battling through the snow and ice to continue to deliver services to older people and check that they are safe, warm and well.

Fear of slipping on icy paths and treacherous road conditions mean that older people often cannot get out and about and without our volunteers, they may not see anyone else for days at a time. I’d like to say a massive thank you to our volunteers across the region who have continued to deliver vital services like Meals on Wheels to the housebound, despite the bad weather. Many volunteers have gone beyond the call of duty and have carried on when other services have stopped. Thank you and keep up the good work!
