During the Christmas season, and all through the year, I have had the pleasure of seeing again and again the community spirit that thrives across our towns and villages. Every week we have hundreds of volunteers giving their time and energy to support others, through organising community events, markets and fairs, litter picks, and providing support to local residents through coffee mornings, toddler play groups, dementia carer support groups and more.
Chertsey and Addlestone Good Neighbours is one of the great examples of this, providing support for over 30 years. It is a delight to always see their volunteers at community events and hear of the support they provide – organising lifts to hospital for people who struggle to access transport, helping residents with shopping, collecting pensions, or just catching up over a coffee – having Good Neighbours is a lifeline to many people in the local area.
You can find out more about their work, including how to get in touch for help or to volunteer, please visit https://chertseyandaddlestonegoodneighbours.co.uk/
You can also email at [email protected] or call on 01932 565146.
Community support can be even more important this time of year, especially for those who do not have friends or family nearby.
Thank you to everyone who continues to give their time and resource to support others, helping to make communities across the Runnymede and Weybridge constituency such fantastic places to live.
