Swanley District Volunteer Bureau would like to recruit volunteer befrienders in this area. The volunteers are very special people who give one hour or more of their time to visit and chat with elderly men and women who are lonely and isolated. The volunteer will be trained in listening skills and placed with a person who shares their interests. Travel expenses are paid. If anyone is interested, please contact Christine Murray, Befriending Scheme Co-coordinator on Tel: 01322 669292.

COMMEMORATIVE PLATES
There are still one or two of these collectors' items, which were produced to raise money for the Bells Restoration, left for sale. Not to be confused with the sets of plates offered commercially from time to time, this is a single Wedgwood plate showing a number of beautifully painted local scenes in full colour. They are still £33 each from David Crowhurst (863205).
