If you require occasional/one off practical assistance or support such as learning how to use Information Technology in your home, attend a health appointment, sorting out paperwork, going for short walks or any other practical support that a “good neighbour” would provide, our volunteers can support you.

Simply contact our Community Team and let us know what task you need support with and we will do our best to help. This is very much an ‘as and when needed’ service for those occasional and one off tasks that you may need support with.
