Good Neighbour Scheme (Hillingdon)

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.

Small domestic task/ household help
Occasional shopping
Collecting prescriptions
IT support and training in the home
Short walks
Low level gardening
Dog walking
Posting/collecting letters / parcels
Short term telephone support to help reconnect/access community services - 12 week support
