A LOCAL charity is appealing for male volunteers

Kirkbymoorside based Ryedale Carers Support is looking for men to join them as a volunteer sitter.

Development worker Sarah Lally-Marley said: “We support a number of carers who are caring for a male partner, relative or friend and would value the opportunity to have some time for themselves.

“We also support a number of elderly gentlemen who live alone and would value some regular company, but we currently have a lack of male volunteers.”

Volunteers do not provide any medical or personal care, their role is simply to provide friendly and supportive company. All out of pocket expenses are met by the charity.
