Notice Title
Good Neighbours Scheme
Notice Description
The development of a Good Neighbours Scheme will build on community and neighourhood work that already exists. Using an app and working with volunteers and a referral system, people in need will receive support such as shopping, picking up prescriptions and other small tasks such as DIY, gardening or just someone who checks in for a chat, reading or writing letters. Such activities can have a huge positive impact on a person's health and wellbeing and their ability to remain at home, perhaps with a long term condition or to return home after sickness or an episode in hospital.
