WorkWell Fenland is for anyone who is struggling to return to or stay in work due to physical or mental health. More than 400 people have now accessed the service, which launched in October last year, and got help to return to work, stay in work or take steps towards work. The no-strings scheme, which isn’t benefit linked, is run by Fenland District Council with NHS support and UK Government funding.

The Cinnamon Trust is the national charity whose wonderful volunteers help people over retirement age and those in the latter stages of a terminal illness by offering all kinds of free pet care.  We are looking for dog walking volunteers to help a resident of Benwick and their delightful dogs who would love to go for a good walk.

 Many elderly or ill pet owners worry about their ability to provide proper care for their animals and start looking to rehome what may be their only companion.  This is where our national network of dedicated volunteers step in to offer support enabling them to stay together.  We’ll walk the dog for a housebound owner, we’ll foster pets when owners need hospital or hospice care, and even clean out the bird cage or litter trays.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, you can download our volunteer registration form from our web site www.cinnamon.org.uk or email us at appeals@cinnamon.org.uk  If you would like to have a more in-depth chat about becoming a volunteer, please call us during office hours (Monday-Friday 9am-5pm) on 01736 758 701, or you can check out our website www.cinnamon.org.uk  for more details.
