VOLUNTEERS are needed to help care for people with Alzheimer's. Chippenham-based North Wiltshire Alzheimer's Society relies heavily on volunteers to provide a service.

Branch manager Tracey Berrelly said: "A small team of enthusiastic people called The Friends of the Branch already work hard in a number of ways but they desperately need more backing."

Mrs Berrelly is calling for anyone who may be able to offer help in their spare time.

She said: "Younger people seeking crucial experience can capitalise on the contribution of their spare time and enhance their CV."

Training will be given where needed, all expenses are paid and working hours can be suited to the individual.
