Description

AWARD ONLY OF:-

The provision of a The Good Neighbour Scheme. The Good Neighbours Scheme has proven to be popular and is producing positive outcomes for older and vulnerable people who are isolated and lonely. Between April and December 2017 the Scheme has carried out 865 support interventions for 259 beneficiaries. 76% of beneficiaries have received on-going or multiple support interventions. A high proportion of activity provided by volunteers is to promote informal social contact. Requests for help with minor practical tasks are sometimes used as a pretext for the resulting social contact which invariably takes place. 94% of Good Neighbours beneficiaries are aged 65 and over and 82% live alone. 98% of beneficiaries have a disability or long-term condition. Beneficiaries are asked to complete a questionnaire to rate how much impact they feel Good Neighbours has had on their lives, ranging from no impact at all to life-changing impact. 80% of beneficiaries who responded rated the project as having changed their lives.
