Stepping down from work, looking for a new role – why not look at joining Basingstoke NeighbourCare?

We provide an accompanied transport service for those in our community needing transport in Basingstoke.
We provide a befriending service for those experiencing loneliness and run two community cafés each week in Brighton Hill, at Church Cottage in the town centre and a weekly social group in Tadley.

Our driving service is operated by volunteers providing transport for older people and those with limited mobility. We take people to medical appointments and shopping trips to social clubs and exercise classes. Our volunteer driver stays with their passenger for the duration of their trip. Clients are asked to make a charitable contribution at the end of each trip to support this service as we reimburse the drivers’ mileage costs.

Our Befriending Service helps those who live alone and are sometimes housebound, by offering weekly companionship. We aim to match people with a volunteer with similar interests. Our volunteer befriender makes a regular visit for a chat over a cup of tea, all free to clients.

Community Cafés offer a safe space in the heart of their community, for people to meet in a friendly and welcoming environment and enjoy activities and refreshments at a very reasonable price.

Can you help? Existing volunteers say that they derive enormous satisfaction and even considerable fun from meeting and helping our clients, but we need more people to meet the demand for our services, as the number of older people in our community grows.

They all have the same goal in mind: to enhance the lives of members of our community needing a little support.
