Good Neighbours – Rural Peterborough

Good Neighbours – Rural Peterborough is a community-based charity that harnesses the skills and goodwill of local volunteers to help vulnerable people of all ages in the rural northern parishes of Peterborough, where friends and family are unable to do so. All volunteers have Enhanced DBS checks.

Support offered by volunteers includes:

• Practical Help from assisting in changing a light bulb to cleaning and light DIY
• Transport Help to get around
• Writing Help
• Collection Help for prescriptions
• Gardening Help
• Shopping Help
• Pet Help to walk, feed and care for your dogs
• Friendly Help – someone to talk to when things get too much, or it may just be that you fancy a bit of a natter
• Information Help to find information you need. You can also check out their ‘Resources and Information‘ page for the local area.

They are also signposting to food banks and hubs for rural parish residents.

To get started, you can ring or email them, or fill in their Contact Form. You can get support for yourself or a loved one, or a professional can fill in the form for you.

All the support offers are free of charge.
