About Opportunity
To support older people who find it difficult to get to the shops and need someone to shop for them. This may also include helping them make the list and put shopping away. This will involve shopping for someone either walking, using the bus or where agreed using your car to get from the person's house to buy the shopping and returning it to them. In some cases shopping lists could be agreed over the phone with the person or the shop. It may also be practical to arrange a delivery by the store where the person could not manage this themselves.
