A flu buddy is someone who can collect medication for anyone who falls ill and should not go out themselves. You would go to a collection point, pick the medication up and take it to the person's home. You would not need to have close contact as you would not go into the person's home. If you think that you could help please contact Age Concern Stockport on 0161 480 1211.
