KIND-hearted residents are needed to help out at a Redditch care home.

Bowood Mews Nursing Home is looking for people to spend a few hours of their spare time with its residents. The Hewell Road home has 34 residents with dementia, most of whom are over 65.

Home manager Sue Parkinson said: "We really need some volunteers to come in for just a few hours a weeks to just sit and chat with our residents."

Volunteers should be at least 18 but do not need any qualifications or previous experience. For more details, call 60029.
