THE British Red Cross is appealing for more recruits after the success of one of its Kidderminster services.

The Home From Hospital service, which sees volunteers do weekly shopping and offer short-term practical assistance to patients newly discharged from hospital, has been operating in Kidderminster, Worcester and Malvern for 14 years.

However, it is looking to expand into Redditch and Bromsgrove and Wyre Forest folk are welcome to work outside of their home areas.

Anyone interested can call the British Red Cross branch HQ on 01905 763935.
