Community Health Advocacy
Tamworth Caregivers
TCNA is bringing back the valuable work the Tamworth Caregivers provided this community for years -- rides to appointments, grocery shopping, to church -- for people who have no vehicle, or ability to drive, or family nearby to help.
In the coming weeks TCNA will be developing a pool of volunteers for this effort. Volunteers who join us will set their own availability and respond to requests that fit their schedules, interests, and abilities.
Call or email TCNA now to find out more about how this will all work and how you can help: 603-323-8511, or tcna@tamworthnurses.org.
Our friend Lindy Gray talks about the Tamworth Caregivers, and the value of volunteering in our most recent podcast:
https://www.tamworthnurses.org/podcasts, beginning at the 2:00 minute mark.
Hikes with Friends
Started as a response to isolation during the pandemic, TCNA's Hikes with Friends continues as a way to stay active, foster friendships and get out into wilderness, all things proven to improve our health. For more information on our next hike, contact Ed Parsons at 603-960-0363.
Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels is a free service. Tamworth residents over the age of 60 qualify to receive meals automatically. Folks under 60 who find it difficult to leave home, or have difficulty making their own meals at home also qualify. Call 603-323-8511 to find out more and sign up.
You can also volunteer to be a driver. Find out more here.
All Persons Trail Project
Tamworth Community Nurse Association (TCNA), in collaboration with the Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC), is working on the construction of the first All Persons Accessible Trail in Tamworth.
The trail is situated on conservation land owned by the Korson family and it is named the Mary Mullarkey All Persons Trail in honor of Tom Korson's late wife and Andrew Korson's mother, who lived with multiple sclerosis for many years before her passing in 2021.
The trail spans 0.5 miles round trip and will include compacted stone dust mix and boardwalk sections with railings over wet areas. Additionally, interpretive signs will highlight special features along the trail, serving as educational tools.
