We have had a busy year with the medical loan service. People come here from many local villages to borrow equipment which enables patients to be nursed at home, whether recovering from an operation or an accident or any illness. We get calls from the Swaffam, Dereham and Fakenham areas.
This service relies totally uncharitable donations and the Red Cross is very grateful for peoples generous help. As I mentioned last's the international work carried out by the red Cross in disaster areas receives much well earned acclaim. However the less newsworthy day to day help provided on the home front, not only medical loan but many other volunteer services should also be recognised and applauded. It can be a lifeline for recipients.
