SIR - Thank you for the splendid feature on the West and South Live at Home Scheme (T&A, January 3).

This was started in Clayton ten years ago with a weekly luncheon club for 40 people. They now also run a day centre for disabled people who otherwise would be confined to the home.

A minibus driven by volunteers transports us door-to-door and often on outings and holidays.

I have appreciated this service for many years and it is the highlight of the week. Many thanks to the staff and volunteers for their care and dedication.

Vera Jacques, Ryefield Avenue, Clayton
