Support Didsbury Good Neighbours

LOCAL HELP FOR LOCAL PEOPLE

Offering support and friendship, Didsbury Good Neighbours is a local charity whose aim is to provide neighbourly support for older people. We do this with a volunteer befriending service, practical help and a program of social activities.

How your donations help Didsbury Good Neighbours

2023 and early 2024 saw us achieve our phase one goal of upgrading some of the furniture, enabling us to provide greater comfort for our local older community. Thanks to ANSVAR and Hine Chartered Insurance Brokers, we were able to achieve our goal with their matched funding scheme.

By donating to Didsbury Good Neighbours, you are helping to alleviate loneliness, improve mental and physical wellbeing and strive towards improving quality of life of our older community.

We are currently raising funds to address the following areas:

FURNITURE 4 THE FUTURE (Phase 2)

From April this year we have been working towards our phase two plan of fully upgrading the remaining furniture and have seen some very generous donations already made. Our goal of £2000 looks very achievable thanks to one of our volunteers (Steve O) and his Employer (Barclays), who have kindly offered to match fund our phase two project. It is our hope with very kind donations from our community, we will reach the £2000 target with Barclays matching the first £1000 raised.

If you wish to donate towards this cause then follow the gofundme link and in the spaces, where it asks for first and last name, mark as follows.
