I was once a volunteer driver with Eastern Volunteers but had to have a few months rest due to a health problem.
I am now A1 but have since moved from Mooroolbark to Wandin.
I am advised I cannot resume driving because of cost considerations involved regards my new location.
Do you have any vacancies in this area (Yarra Ranges) for meals on wheels or other similar services that I could assist with?
