I was just sat here feeling sorry for myself about the fact I will be alone on Christmas once the ex collects the kids when I had the thought about giving back...so I called the council volenteer centre to see what there was if anything I could do...help at a homeless shelter or visit someone who would also otherwise be alone...they are making inqueries and just waiting to hear back from them  |

Will see what the director of the nursing home has to say...would really enjoy spending time there I think. I like listening to old stories

I'm sure if ur in the company of a person with a crb check and accompanied at all times u don't have to have one as u r the responsibility of the checked person, worth asking maybe!
What is the world coming to when u can't even help out without h&s getting involved!
You could always make soup and take it to the street people local to u if there r any? |

I would strongly advise doing that..as Much as its a good idea you are opening yourself up to allegations and above that no risk assessment would be carried out.... |

I thought of that,about if I was with someone and they said it did not matter...and salvation army was same thing...need to have a crb check...one last hope but will depend on what time the ex is coming for the kids and if the other person going from my area can give me a lift |
