A group which tries to link disabled people within their local community in the western Vale of White Horse is looking for a new voluntary organiser.

Open Access, which was founded in 1991 and works together with Oxfordshire's social services staff, say they are desperate need of someone to fill the post, for which training will be given.

The group's twice-monthly 'drop in' sessions take place in the Red Cross Hall in Wallingford Street, Wantage, supported by members drawn mainly from the Wantage and Grove area.

Transport to and from the meetings, held on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month is available, and a county carer attends every session.

Secretary Mrs Eileen Evans, said: "We hold many functions during the year, and in spring and summer we organise trips for the disabled, enabling members in wheelchairs and with other disabilities to have outings.

"We need new able-bodied people to help us without work."
