About Springline Good Neighbour Scheme
The Springline Good Neighbour Scheme (SGNS) provides support to those who, principally because of age, ill health, disability or whatever other reason, need regular or occasional help and live in the area. You can refer yourself, a relative, a neighbour or a friend. Alternatively, your GP (etc.) may ask us to contact you and offer our services.
What we do
Here are just a few examples of how SGNS can help: giving lifts to the doctor or dentist, fetching prescriptions & library books, shopping / doing errands, providing company for those living alone, taking a child to school if Mum is ill, assisting with social outings for the housebound, sitting with someone who is ill to provide a break for a full-time carer, walking the dog for someone who is ill, helping with small things like watering plants, etc. Essentially..... just doing things that good neighbours do for each other! We also provide extra hands at community events and give support to community groups.
Where we operate
Broadly covering Burton and Burton Waters through to Fillingham (including North and South Carlton, Scampton, Aisthorpe, Brattleby, Thorpe le Fallows, Cammeringham, Ingham and nearby villages)
Our Staff
We have a pool of volunteers of all ages who help with the one-to-one support described above, act as a representative of their village on the SGNS committee, help with preparing and distributing publicity, organising and/or helping at SGNS events, help at community events
