Volunteer buddy for visually impaired lady

Enrych Berkshire

Very friendly lady who lives in Wickham (near Welford) is very isolated due to becoming visually impaired.  She would love a volunteer to go on dog walks with or out for coffee.  She can only let her dog run around the field near her house as she is unable to walk locally due to narrow pavements and lack of vision.
