Good Neighbours Project – Volunteering Matters

The Good Neighbours Newcastle project connects volunteers with people in the community who may be feeling lonely, isolated, or need extra support. Volunteers help by offering social, emotional, or practical support through small, one-time activities or short-term tasks.

This could include helping older adults, people with disabilities, or anyone in need of a little extra assistance by:

helping with grocery shopping
collecting and delivering medical prescriptions
driving them to their GP/hospital appointment
accompanying them to a social activity or appointment
helping with odd jobs around the house
light gardening
checking in with someone for a cup of tea and a chat

To become a Good Neighbour volunteer you can sign up here on Volunteero. You can volunteer at a time that works best for you and fits your schedule. You’ll have access to a wide range of tasks and activities through the Volunteero app and online portal.
