Help a neighbour feel less alone
When getting out becomes harder, it can be easy to lose touch with the people and places that make up your week. A friendly call, a lift to an appointment or help with the shopping can make everyday life easier. A group to look forward to can give someone a reason to get out and a chance to make friends.
Hampton & Hampton Hill Voluntary Care helps older neighbours in Hampton and Hampton Hill stay independent and connected.
What changes for our neighbours:
In our survey, 57% of respondents said they had met new people, 43% said they had maintained their independence, and 73% said they felt happier or more positive.
What your donation helps provide:
• Befriending calls and visits for someone who would like more company.
• Volunteer transport to appointments and help with shopping when getting out is difficult.
• Social groups and outings where neighbours can meet people and build friendships.
• The work behind each visit, lift and activity, including matching neighbours with volunteers and coordinating their support.
If you can, please donate or share this appeal. Thank you for helping local people stay independent and feel part of their community.
