The service is free of charge but donations welcomed.

Volunteers needed:

Boxmoor Good Neighbours is run entirely by volunteers and volunteers are needed to make the scheme work well.

"We all have busy lives, but even if can only spare an hour occasionally, your help can make a real difference to our older neighbours and offers a chance to give back to your local community.  It just needs enthusiasm and a can-do approach.  Don't worry, relevant training will be given and expenses are covered."
