Good Neighbour Schemes

Good Neighbour Schemes are running all across rural areas of Northampton. They are established and run by local people to provide neighbourly support to others.
Each scheme has a different offer as they are all independently run.

Volunteers are free to give as much or as little time as they like helping others with practical tasks like driving or shopping or providing emotional support (befriending).
All the scheme’s services are free unless expenses such as petrol or parking have been incurred. Donations for running costs are welcomed.

The schemes mostly work through telephone contact. Coordinators receive calls for help and allocate tasks to appropriate volunteers.
The aim is to support neighbours to maintain a good quality of life, reduce isolation and build a stronger community.

Please see the attached leaflets for details on current programmes running across the county.
