ALDBOURNE & BAYDON LINK GOOD NEIGHBOUR SCHEME
The scheme provides to assistance to anyone who may need to visit a
hospital or
surgery, is unable to collect shopping or needs a small task
undertaking in the
home. You may just like someone to call for a chat or to exchange a
library
book. If your particular need is not listed here, do not worry, just
ask the coordinator.
Link is not limited to any particular age group.
All requests for assistance should be made, by telephone, to the
Link Scheme Coordinator,
who will arrange for a volunteer to carry out the required task. The
telephone
line is backed up by an answering machine when the coordinator is
unavailable.
All volunteers have been checked by the Criminal Records Bureau and
are covered
by a comprehensive insurance policy. There are many other Link
schemes
operating in Wiltshire, so there is a wealth of experience for our
team to draw
upon.
The service is confidential and free but volunteers will offer users
an
envelope and invite them to make a donation to the scheme if they so
wish. All
donations will be used to support the operation of the scheme.
