Good Neighbours support people who are feeling lonely / socially isolated; have limited or no support around them and need help with the little things. This could be anything from a friendly telephone call to help with carrying out a variety of practical tasks. Good Neighbours volunteers can:
- Make weekly phone calls for a friendly chat
- Meet for a weekly walk either one-to-one or as part of a group
- Meet in an outside space for a chat e.g. in the garden or at a park
- Collect essential shopping for up to 3 weeks
- Collect medication from a pharmacy
- Carry out simple one-off tasks in the home or garden
- Support with technology to help people to stay connected with friends and family
