If you need to get out for your weekly shop
Our volunteer drivers at your front door will stop
And if your legs are weak and you walk with an aid
They will help you on the bus and they don’t want paid
They will also take care of all your decorating needs
Cut your hedge, your grass and pull up your weeds
And for those who are elderly, isolated and alone
Our volunteers will take time to visit you at home
Our trustees assist with any strategic decision
Help with policies, governance and maintaining pep’s vision
And if your literacy, English and I.T. skills are few
There’s a volunteer available to help with that too
At the day clubs the volunteers will support you to make
Everything from dream catchers to lemon drizzle cake
To go walking in the woods and to dance in the park
With their ultimate goal to bring back your spark
In addition they assist with craft classes, parties and fayres
And old Jeannie Brown says “it’s good to know that somebody cares”
And after all that giving of their valuable time
They then take to the stage in the PEP pantomime
Oh no they don’t! ………………………………….oh yes they do!
