Welcome from our CEO, Fiona Haywood

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest. The concept of Being Neighbourly was imagined several years ago and is all about pairing up ‘local volunteers who care’ with ‘neighbours in need of support’. The aim is to combat loneliness and isolation and enable a sense of safety and independence through our practical support.

The requirement for help become clear during the Covid pandemic and in 2020, we saw our network of volunteers grow with the support of East Grinstead Town Council. We gained charitable status in 2023 and ably assisted by a Board of Trustees, Being Neighbourly has adapted to provide voluntary input to new needs as they arise and to develop and strengthen relationships with other local community groups, statutory agencies, and the families and friends of neighbours we assist. We embrace partnership working as we know this provides a more robust platform of support.

Our services and activities are framed by the requests we receive from our neighbours and include, but are not limited to, those listed on our How We Can Help page.

Please do be in touch by 'phone 01342 545044 or email: admin@beingneighbourly.co.uk if you require our support or to express your interest in Volunteering With Us. We would love to hear from you!
