Norfolk Rural Communities Council
Good Neighbours Project
Taking steps to ensure we have the community we want in the future
Is your village as vibrant as you would like? Do neighbours help each other? Would you like to get involved in a scheme to create a community project to support the most vulnerable in your parish?
Norfolk RCC with Victory housing is looking at setting up 'Good Neighbour' Community projects in villages within North Norfolk.
In response to the aging population in North Norfolk and the growing mobility of the population older members of society often find themselves isolated and without the social networks and support that they would have benefited from in years gone-by. Whilst a lot of informal support already happens in rural areas with an increase in demand and the loss of many services means people no longer interact as much within villages; consequently, there is a need to strengthen this informal support.
Currently, there are two groups up and running in North Norfolk and we're looking for more villages that would like to consider setting up similar schemes.
If you think your village would benefit from this scheme which matches local need in villages from vulnerable residents with assistance such as a lift to the Doctors surgery, trip to the shops or an occasional visit with local volunteers then we would like to hear from you. The project works by establishing a steering committee of local people who co-ordinate a village based scheme.
Ongoing support and training will be provided for groups from Norfolk RCC. For further information or to discuss the project please contact Lucinda Leonard at Norfolk RCC telephone 01362 698 216 or email lucinda@norfolkrcc.org.uk
The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) would like to establish a nationwide litter warden network and are encouraging groups to join in.
Money is now available to supply litter picking equipment to a nominated person in a parish and pay them an honorarium of £100 per year, for a maximum of three years.
If you are interested please contact Paul Wiley on 01263
