Emsworth Good Neighbours celebrates its 30th birthday this year. We are a community of volunteers, helping mostly elderly and frail residents of Emsworth, supported by the Good Neighbours Network through our Diocese. Last year our wonderful volunteers carried out over 1300 acts of kindness, including 600 car trips to medical appointments. We would be so grateful for more volunteers – any time you could spare would be so appreciated. Mileage and parking expenses are paid. Some of our drivers have ‘retired’ recently and others temporarily stepped down. If you would consider volunteering or would like to know more please be in touch. <a href="http://www.emsworthgoodneighbours.org/">www.emsworthgoodneighbours.org</a>
