Selwyn sides re-focus on one-day competition
IT WAS a torrid weekend for
Selwyn clubs in the Canterbury

were rained off.

and Darfield/South Malvern all
suffering defeats on Saturday.
Leeston-Southbridge lost
to Sefton, Lincoln lost to
Southbrook, Weedons lost to
Cheviot, and Darfield/South
Malvern lost to Oxford.
The Selwyn teams will
now turn their attention to
the country premier one-day
competition which restarts on
Saturday.
After 10 rounds, Leeston-
Southbridge lead the competition
on 51 points, ahead of Weedons
in second on 39 points.
•Saturday fixtures (home side
first):
Sefton v Cheviot; Lincoln v
Southbrook; Darfield/South

More than just a taxi
The elderly and those with
disabilities often find it difficult to
access health appointments or take
care of shopping, things that can be
physically and mentally challenging for
them.
Helen Beddard understands how
difficult it can be. When her
mother’s mobility was compromised
by an injury, Helen stepped into
the role of driver and companion
where she learned first-hand, the
importance of someone retaining their
independence.
It was this experience that sparked
the idea of a driving service that went
further than a taxi or shuttle provider.
Lift Companion Driving is an
individual, personalised service
that helps the elderly, people with
disabilities, and parents who need
their children safely transported to
an activity such as a dance class or
afterschool programme.
Helen takes her clients where
they need to go, filling the role of
companion and assistant, a role that
gives her considerable satisfaction as
she is helping those less mobile regain
their independence.
“It’s a privilege to do something
positive for the community by making
someone’s life easier. You meet the
best people. They put a lift in my day
as much as I put a lift in their day,”
says Helen.
Lift Companion Driving is a licensed
transport service with a high emphasis
on safety right down to the vehicle
used. As driver, Helen is passenger
endorsed, has been police checked,
and has full first aid certificates.
Lift Companion Driving is a caring,
high quality bespoke yet affordable
service that assists clients to retain
their independence so they are less
reliant on family and friends.
