Help is needed on Friday January 15, Saturday January 16 and Sunday January 17, say Connex Community Support.

Volunteers are required for shifts of up to three hours at the Buxton Medical Practice hub on Temple Road - with the first shift starting at 8am and the last shift finishing at 6.30pm.

High-visibility jackets will be provided but volunteers will need to wrap up warm and bring along a hot drink flask.
