With the lockdowns fading into the past, Nevill Good Neighbours continues to be busy in our community. In fact, they are busier than ever. In the twelve months leading up to their last AGM in October 2023, Nevill Good Neighbours provided 622 ‘helps’ to Nevill community residents, over six times more ‘helps’ than their first year in 2017/2018.
The bulk of their work involves weekly contact with elderly and vulnerable neighbours through ‘keeping in touch’, home and hospital visits, and telephone calls. Although most of the ‘regulars’ are elderly or vulnerable neighbours who live on their own they support residents of any age or ability, whatever their circumstances. It’s very satisfying when assistance is appreciated. Feedback from their neighbours has been very positive. One neighbour said “You’ve been so wonderful. So many times, I’ve needed something, and you’ve been there. It’s so comforting”.
