THE British Red Cross is on the look out for more volunteers to join the Home from Hospital service.
The scheme is to start in Redditch on Monday and will provide help to newly-discharged patients from the Alexandra Hospital.
The success of the scheme in Worcester, Kidderminster and Malvern over 14 years has meant the service has been extended to cover Redditch and Bromsgrove.
Rose Padmore, from British Red Cross, said: "The volunteers can help newly discharged patients from hospital with such practicalities as offering to pick up their pensions, or help with the ironing or cleaning which is very much appreciated."
Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer can call the Home from Hospital office on 01905 763935.
