My neighbour recently had a fall. She had previously registered with the Nevill Good Neighbour Scheme and was impressed by the good reports she has heard.
Along with all the other help she is receiving, she is very reassured that she can ask the NGNS for help with medication collection & other errands.

Volunteer who needed help!
When I heard about the Good Neighbour Scheme I thought I’d be a volunteer, and then I went through an episode where I needed help myself.
Lifesaver
You’re a lifesaver for routine appointments at the Victoria Hospital as taxis are not available between 2:30 and 5pm.
Peace of Mind
By stepping in to visit my Mum every day, Nevill Good Neighbours allowed me to take a few days break, WITH PEACE OF MIND. Mum enjoyed meeting her Nevill neighbours and having a chat, knowing that if help was needed they would do their best for her.
Welcome
Who we are
The Nevill Residents Good Neighbour Scheme has been running since 2017 to provide voluntary, neighbourly help for residents of the Nevill estate. All help is free, unless expenses such as car mileage, parking, etc have been incurred.
What we do
The kinds of assistance we can provide include:
- lifts for medical appointments, shopping, etc
- collection of prescriptions
- small household tasks, eg. changing a light bulb, putting out the bins
- shopping
- help with letter writing, form filling, computers
- help with pets
- occasional popping in to relieve a carer, provide company
What we don’t do
We are not able to provide specialist services or play any role that should be undertaken by professional, qualified people. Nor are we able to offer assistance to those living outside the Nevill estate.
How to request our help
For assistance from the Nevill Residents Good Neighbour Scheme please text or call us on
07548 069063
and leave a message. We will get back to you the same day.
Or, you can email us

If you are new to the scheme, a volunteer will visit to take simple registration details and review your needs. If you are already registered with us, your request will be passed on to a volunteer who will get back to you to make final arrangements.
