The Neighbourcare Telephone Buddie Scheme is proving to be a huge success. With mainly furloughed people stepping up to buddie. The volunteers have come from all walks of life and companies like Vision Express, Twinings, Stannah Lifts, retired and serving Army, retired Royal Air Force and many more. If anyone knows of someone who would enjoy a weekly call please ring 01264 339899. We have been asked if this scheme could carry on after the pandemic. More volunteers are welcome
ANDOVER NEIGHBOURCARE BOOK SHOP, 12 Union Street
The charity book shop will reopen the end of June. The shop will have a strict distancing to safe guard both our volunteers and customers by only allowing 2 customers in at any one time. Customers will be asked to wear gloves. The shop has a wide selection of books, DVD's,CD's, Records and a variety of jigsaws. Unfortunately the main Charity Shop will remain closed due to health and safety issues which we wait for guidance from the government. We look forward to welcoming our regular customers back and hope we will attract some new ones. Requests for books to be delivered can be ordered by emailing neighbourcare@andover.co.uk or ring 01264 339899
Andover Neighbourcare is pleased to be holding food boxes for the Food Bank during the pandemic. The office in Union Street will be open Monday - Friday between 9am - 4pm for collections. The office is on lock down, so we will only give boxes out to people with vouchers. These vouchers are to be placed on the doorstep. The person who is to receive the boxes must them move to the other side of street whilst the voucher is taken in and the food boxes placed on the step. This will be on a trial basis to help with the distribution of boxes in the the centre of the town.
ANDOVER NEIGHBOURCARE UPDATE
Neighbourcare is pleased to announce that the charity has nearly covered all their 1000 members with support.
Neighbourcare will also fetch prescriptions and also do shopping if needed.
We would like to hear from any one who would like to help but they must be police checked if dealing with our clients.
A huge thank you to our Handy Helpers and volunteers that work tirelessly and quietly to support the community.
To all our members, who many have been with us 20 years, stay home, stay safe and we hope to be back to normal soon.
