Rock n' roll lover Errol can't thank volunteers enough in run-up to eye op

Meet Errol. He now wants to volunteer himself after getting temporary support whilst waiting for an eye operation.

Errol was helped by Live Well Swindon volunteers Debbie, Maureen and Matt, who stepped in to give him the aid that was needed.
They visit Errol on a rota basis checking his mail and making sure nothing important is missed.
Errol is a lover of rock and roll, and mentioned that he’d love a wider range of music to listen to. Live Well Swindon staff dusted off their CD’s, and found Errol some 50’s and 60’s music to listen too.
Errol said: "They’ve all been wonderful to me. The best reference I can give is that I’d love to volunteer too, so I can give something back."
When Errol has had his eye operation, that’s what he intends to do.
If you’d like to volunteer please email [email protected] or why not visit the Swindon Volunteer Expo at Central Library on Wednesday 7 June between 2pm and 4pm.
