Friends of Ide Lane Surgery
Who are we?
Friends of Ide Lane Surgery are a registered charity (no. 1050108) which exists for the patients of Ide Lane Surgery. Our aim is to back up the skilled care given by the doctors and nurses with extra care and support when needed. We use local volunteers, offer them training and assess them carefully for each task. The Co-ordinator supervises and supports the volunteers.
What do we offer?
- Transport to and from health appointments e.g. Ide Lane surgery, hospital, dentist or optician, podiatry if you find getting there difficult due to age, disability or other special circumstances.
Are you a carer?
The Friends of Ide Lane Surgery have set up a Carers group in your local community.
Meeting at Alphington Village Hall, every 2nd Monday in the month at 2.00pm - 3.00pm all ages welcome.
Meeting in the group is a great way to talk to other carers, as well as an opportunity to focus on your own health and wellbeing. For further information please contact us on 07708233660.

- 9th June: Social meeting
