Good Neighbour Program

The Good Neighbour Program links home visiting volunteers with isolated older people, or those living with a disability within the Inner West LGA. Through regular fortnightly visits, volunteers provide company and encouragement, friendship and interest.  The volunteer’s role can involve a wide range of things depending on the client’s needs, mobility and interests.
