The most regular tasks include: •   Shopping - we'll do your shopping, or come with you to give you a hand. •   Visits - we can help you visit someone in hospital or at home. •   Collection - we can collect your pension or prescription. •   Befriending - we can take time with the lonely or elderly •   Appointments - we can take you to your medical appointments Simply phone the helpline on 01256 423855 advising what you need NeighbourCare to do.
