A group of carers in the Wirral have been fitted-out with new equipment to streamline their job looking after some of the region's most vulnerable.
Thanks to new funding provided by the government, Wirral council has been able to provide the team at Professional Carers Wirral with new electronic bikes. The new initiative will help to reduce the 'exhausting' amount of on-foot travelling the carers are required to do each day when working 'in the community', going from house to house looking after the needs of the area's most vulnerable.
The funding will also provide other equipment and initiatives to get them on the road, such as paid-for driving lessons and access to pool vehicles. It was awarded after the council identified transport difficulties as one of the main things deterring people from taking on care jobs.
