The Good Neighbour Scheme exists as a means of allowing locals to help other locals where a simple need arises. Users of the scheme REALLY value what we do, and whilst the number of people using the scheme has steadily grown our Volunteer group has remained static so we’re on a mission to encourage as many people as possible to join our merry band. If you’ve got just a little spare time and could be a Volunteer here are some great reasons to do it:
At present we really need additional Drivers and Call Handlers to join the Team:

SAFE FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN NEEDS YOU! Join our army of volunteers today! Safe Families for Children is a movement of the church to care for some of the most vulnerable members of our society - children whose parents are going through a hard time. We recruit Host Families who voluntarily open up their homes, without pay, taking in the children for a short spell whilst their parents get back on their feet. It’s not fostering and it’s not adoption - just simple kindness and yet it can make a world of difference. For full details please click here to read and print the leaflet.
HELEN’S INDEPENDENCE ASSISTANCE At aged 22 most people are busy getting on with life and not thinking about their later years. I was an exception, my experiences in life have brought me to consider how I will cope when I am old or become disabled. After serving 17 years in the police force helping the community on the beat, 3 years in brain injury rehabilitation, years of private end of life care and working for 4 years for the GP out of hours home visiting service, not to mention being a funeral director, has certainly made me consider my later years. I can see the huge gap in available care for people who still want to remain independent in their own home. Care companies are very good but limited to their roll. They do not take someone shopping, help to access the community or help you get to appointments or assist you to have any form of a social life or trips and holidays away. They do not help with loneliness or support with lack of confidence after the loss of a loved one or help to plan or contact people on your behalf if you need a plumber, electrician etc. They do not access the internet for you to book tickets for a show and find the best deals for you, or give you someone to call on should you need adhoc help if you are unwell. I decided to plug that gap and I have started Helen’s Independent Assistance, based in Quadring and covering Boston, Spalding, Holbeach and everything in between. You no longer need to wait for someone else to be free to help you or bother busy family, friends or neighbours. You can be Independent in your own home and live a full and happy life. Helen’s Independence Assistance is a caring, helpful, one to one service for the elderly or persons living with disability. Providing practical help to maintain independence in your own home. Advocate for combating loneliness and preventing the need to disrupt the lives of others to maintain an independent, full and happy life. ¨ Help to access the community at any time ¨ Help walking the dog or looking after pets ¨ Assistance getting to and from appointments ¨ Help with shopping or shop on your behalf ¨ Bespoke assistance to your personal needs ¨ Assistance with accessing social events, activities or interests ¨ Combat loneliness with regular company, tea & chat or a trip out ¨ Assistance to go away on a long or short break ¨ Practical assistance running a home, paying bills, errands, phone calls, help to access the internet or plan arrangements on your behalf.
