Good Neighbours Schemes

We run three Good Neighbours Schemes in Islington

Our Bemerton Good Neighbours Scheme is for the residents of Bemerton Estate, Delhi Outram, Naish Court/ Wellington Square, York Way Court, Tiber Gardens, Julius Nyerere Close, Cowdenbeath Path, Stanmore Street and Lion Court. It is funded by Islington Giving and Islington Council.

Our Kings Cross Good Neighbours Scheme is for the residents of Peabody's Kings Cross estates and surrounding areas. It is funded by Islington Giving and Peabody Housing.

Our New River Green Good Neighbours Scheme is for the residents of Northampton Street, Canonbury Street, Canonbury Crescent, Walter Sickert, Marquess, Channel Island and New River Green Estates. It is funded by Islington Giving and the Islington Clinical Commissioning Group.

Our Good Neighbours Schemes Coordinators are keeping in contact with residents in their areas and supporting them during the current pandemic. We have resumed some face-to-face activities and also offer goup activities by phone and online. Please contact them for help and support.

Here for you and your community

Our Good Neighbours Schemes offer residents opportunities

  • to attend activities and events.
  • learn or teach a skill in one of the groups.
  • help out in any way that you would like to or just socialise and make new friends.
  • be part of the reference group that oversees the running of the Good Neighbours Scheme.

By being part of your local Good Neighbours Scheme helps improves local communities by

  • tackling isolation
  • expanding your own social circle and that of other residents
  • helping to build sustainable networks of mutual support
  • increasing the sense of neighbourliness
  • improving the health and wellbeing of local residents
  • providing positive activities for children and young people.

To be successful our Good Neighbours Schemes need local residents to get involved. They are built on an ethos of co-production and harness the strengths, ideas and passions that exist within your community. Working with us will improve your life and the lives of those around you.

    Volunteer for us

    After the Covid-19 Pandemic started in 2020 Help on Your Doorstep recruited over 60 volunteers to help with urgent essential deliveries of food and befriending people who were isolated due to shielding, self isolation and lockdown.  These volunteers made a real difference to people’s lives - whether they supported one person or many.  Now we are moving to a new phase, needs are changing and we need new volunteers.
