Good Neighbour (Newcastle)

Become a Good Neighbour and provide “a little bit of help” to people who may be socially isolated, or who don’t have many people around them.

You will provide social, emotional or practical support, completing “one-off’ or short-term tasks, supporting people in the community who may be isolated, older, have a disability, or be otherwise in need.

Becoming a Good Neighbour is a fully flexible volunteering role, giving you the chance to help out in your local community at a time that suits you, or fits around your busy schedule!  Volunteers can choose from a wide range of tasks or activities available, using the innovative volunteering app “Volunteero” or via an online portal.

What tasks or activities will you be involved with?

Volunteers can choose from a wide range of available tasks or activities.

Some examples include:

• Helping someone with grocery shopping
• Collecting and delivering medical prescriptions,
• Driving a person to their GP/hospital appointment
• Accompanying someone to a social activity or appointment,
• Helping with odd jobs around the house,
• Light gardening
• Checking in with someone for a cuppa and chat, and lots more!

The volunteering role is fully flexible meaning that volunteers can pick and choose which tasks they are interested in completing, and when.
