“What a team!„

Usually a GP practice nurse, Emily has been spending lots of her time helping us set up another of Lincolnshire’s local vaccination sites. Her Dad, a retired GP is also part of the national programme.

“Craig, we salute you!„

A former RAF pilot and currently furloughed from his job as an airline pilot, Craig’s volunteering role is to make it as easy as possible for the clinical staff to do their jobs. Along with all the other volunteers Craig is inspired to see the older generation lead from the front receiving their vaccines.

“People who really care„

I couldn’t manage without my Good Neighbours. I have used the service mainly for transport, but the support and friendship is fantastic. It makes a huge difference knowing there are people there who really care.

“My days are much brighter now„

My days are much brighter now that my GNS volunteer visits me, as I used to be quite lonely. They also help me get to my hospital appointments, as my family live a long way away.

“Brightens up her week„

Liz takes herself on her usual dog walk with Oscar the gorgeous Golden Retriever and walks to her client’s home where they have a socially distanced chat through the window. According to the client – the regular visits from Liz and Oscar really brighten her week!

“An absolute lifeline„

My husband and I would like to thank you all so much for all the help you arranged for vulnerable people during the lockdown. We had to make use of the service provided for medication several times and it was an absolute lifeline. We are a long way away from our family and at times things were quite difficult, but it felt so good to know that there was a backup there if we needed it. Thank you very much.

“Best thing to happen in this area for many a year„

Our Good Neighbour Scheme is the best thing to happen in this area for many a year. It gives me peace of mind that there is always someone to help with my many regular trips to various clinics, and I really enjoy the regular visits from my befriender. Little things such as making telephone calls on my behalf make such a difference.

One of our primary care network leads, Amanda has been at the forefront of organising another of Lincolnshire’s local vaccination sites. From staff, to signs, to cleaning, she’s thought of it all.

“Really keen to get involved„

When I heard that Ruddington was in need of volunteers to assist with the Covid response I was really keen to get involved. I have children at both local schools and it was great to be able to deliver schoolwork out to their classmates who were stuck at home. Although they knew what it meant when they saw me walking towards the door, most of the kids were excited to be getting a delivery from school and to see what fresh challenges had been set by their teachers.

“New friendships„

It’s wonderful to hear from local people who have already made new connections and friendships thanks to the Good Neighbour Schemes. We are proud to be funding Community Lincs so it can continue to build on this success, helping more people tap into this support and feel less isolated. Thanks to National Lottery players, these Good Neighbour Schemes will bring communities together, empowering them to thrive.

“Making a difference„

I'd like to think that someone would be there to help me if I had a health condition. I've got spare time and I'm just pleased to be putting it to good use. It's lovely to know I am making a difference.
