Care for Guildford

We are a good neighbour scheme, a network of volunteers helping local people who cannot get out and about on their own.

The type and demand for services has changed over the years and today we maintain some 100 volunteers helping Guildfordians in need.

Transport to GP surgeries, clinics, dentists and hospitals are the main tasks we undertake, but we also do shopping on behalf of a client.

We provide a number of services that include:

Transport

Lifts to GP surgeries, dentists, hospitals, clinics, therapeutic clubs and day centres. We can also take you to Hospitals and to visit relatives in nursing homes. Please note that we cannot take clients to hairdressers.

Shopping

We shop on a weekly or fortnightly basis for anyone who is housebound. We can also shop on a temporary basis, for example when someone first comes out of hospital.
