At Radfield Home Care Leicester East, Groby & Oadby, we understand that accessibility is vital for maintaining independence and well being, especially for those with limited mobility or living in rural areas. We are proud to announce our partnership with Syston and District Volunteer Centre, a local charity, to provide essential transport services in Leicester for members of our community who may need additional support. This collaboration aims to assist those requiring reliable transportation for everyday activities such as medical appointments, grocery shopping, and social engagements.
By working together, we are ensuring that older and less mobile residents in Leicestershire have access to important services. This community partnership reflects our core mission: to champion care that people want as well as need, and to keep our nation connected to what matters most.
For many older individuals or those with mobility challenges, getting out and about can be a significant hurdle. In rural areas where public transport is often limited or unreliable, this issue becomes even more pressing. Our partnership with Syston and District Volunteer Centre addresses this by offering tailored transport services in Leicester that meet the needs of our community.
Syston and District Volunteer Centre has been providing transport services since 1977, but increasing demand has strained their resources. We recognised an opportunity to support their work by volunteering our Care Professionals to assist with transport needs. This allows us to extend our expertise in caring for older people beyond the home and into the wider community.
Through this partnership, Radfield Home Care Leicester East, Groby & Oadby is proud to offer more than just practical assistance. Our Care Professionals, skilled in providing both physical and emotional care, are now transporting individuals to their essential appointments and social activities. This offers peace of mind to both the users of the service and their families, knowing they are in the hands of compassionate professionals.
The partnership between Radfield and Syston and District Volunteer Centre goes beyond transportation—it aims to improve the quality of life for community members who may require extra support. Being able to leave home for medical appointments, shop for groceries, or attend social events can profoundly impact a person’s mental health and emotional well being.
Sona Bharkhada, Director at Radfield Home Care Leicester, expressed her commitment to this initiative:
“We’ve always been dedicated to supporting the well being of our clients and the broader community. When we learned about the challenges faced by residents with limited mobility, we knew we could help. Our Care Professionals have built strong relationships with those they care for, and now they are extending that care by volunteering to drive individuals who need assistance.”
This partnership benefits everyone involved. Syston and District Volunteer Centre can expand its services to meet growing demand, while Radfield extends its reach, providing even more comprehensive care to those in our local communities.
Paul Lomas, Chairman of Syston and District Volunteer Centre, echoed these sentiments:
“The support we’ve received from Radfield Home Care has been invaluable. Their willingness to volunteer their time and carers has allowed us to reach more people and provide a more personalised service. Many of the individuals we help cannot use public transport, and this partnership is helping to restore their independence.”
For those in rural areas, the inability to access transport can lead to feelings of isolation and anxiety. By providing rural transport services in Leicestershire, we empower individuals to maintain their independence as long as possible. This partnership also fosters a sense of belonging, as those using the service know they are supported not just by one organisation but by two groups working in harmony to improve their lives.
As this partnership continues to grow, we are exploring other ways to support the community through volunteering and collaboration. The success of this transport initiative is just the beginning. We are committed to ensuring that members of the community have access to necessary services, including home care and volunteer drivers in Leicester, and we will continue to seek innovative ways to provide care that makes a real difference.
At Radfield Home Care Leicester East, Groby & Oadby, we believe that community partnerships like this are essential to creating a society where older individuals and those with mobility challenges are valued, respected, and supported. Our goal is to make ageing a rewarding experience for everyone involved, and we are confident that our collaboration with Syston and District Volunteer Centre exemplifies how we can achieve this together.
