• Provision of meals for those in need including illness, accident, maternity etc
• Transport for the elderly for medical or hospital treatment
• Hospital visitation
• Caring for the elderly or housebound through visits, practical care and phone calls

This team aids and enhances the work carried out daily by the clergy of St Jude’s.
