AN ORGANISATION which assists elderly, disabled and lonely people is appealing for more volunteers.

Chingford Christian Care's Help on Call scheme aims to provide help with transport, DIY, shopping and odd jobs to those who need it most.

A spokeswoman for the charity said: “Demand has been growing for the service and more volunteers are now desperately needed, especially drivers who can provide occasional transport to medical appointments, shops and other local trips that would otherwise be difficult or even impossible for those in need.”
