THE hunt is on to find a vital village agent to help older people in the Colden Common community.

The village agent scheme involves people who offer a few hours of week of their time to signpost and help older people access information and local services.

They provide a face-to-face contact for people who are less likely to use the phone or internet to access information.

If you would like to get involved and have some time to offer, or know anybody else who might be interested, you can call Village Agent Co-Ordinator Anne Harrison on 01962 892443.
