Good Neighbours groups in Hampshire
There are well over 100 voluntary groups in the Hampshire Network. Because they are independent they have a variety of names such as Neighbourcare or Voluntary Care Group and offer different services such as
- Taking people to GP, hospital and other health appointments
- Help with shopping
- Befriending or visiting services
- Coffee mornings, lunch and social clubs
- Minibus outings
Most groups have volunteers who use their cars to take people to health appointments. Some groups may offer practical help such as changing a light bulb, simple DIY or help with letter reading and paperwork.Good Neighbours groups are there for people who may not have anyone else to give them a bit of help when they need it. It’s always worth asking if a Good Neighbours group can help you.
Good Neighbours Support Service
The Good Neighbours Support Service is supported by the Church of England Dioceses of Portsmouth, Winchester and Guildford and funded by Hampshire County Council and the NHS in Hampshire.
We provide insurance for each group to cover volunteers, free administration for CRB checks, small grants and a range of events to share good practice. Dedicated Area Advisers offer bespoke support and advice to each group. We welcome enquiries about starting new groups or bringing existing groups into the network.
