Short trip to complete a task (6)

I believe the answer is:

errand

(Other definitions for errand that I've seen before include "Task, message" , "Useful journey" , "purposeful journey" , "An ...... of mercy is a journey to relieve distress" , "Short mission -- ran red (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
