Welcome to
fulham good neighbours

what we do

Since 1966 Fulham Good Neighbours has supported older and disabled people in their homes and gardens, in the community and at our community centre, and now online. We support almost 500 older and disabled people a year, supported by over 100 local volunteers. 

 

In 2019 we received The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. In 2021 our impact survey found:
    • 100% beneficiaries would recommend our services; and 
    • 100% feel we create a community where neighbours look out and care for each other. 

 

 

Our services aim to:
    • Tackle concerns raised in 2019 local Older People’s Commission (LBHF).  These relate mainly to: 
        • access to services; • loneliness & isolation; and • poverty & deprivation
    • Recognise 2017 Index For Wellbeing in Later Life (Age UK & University of Southampton) findings:
        • that meaningful engagement contributes at least 20% to wellbeing; and 
        • that, of 40 indicators, creative & cultural engagement & physical activity are most significant.
    • Recognise that there should be 'Nothing About Disabled People Without Disabled People' as per the 2018 local Disabled People's Commission. • if you would be interested in supporting us with this please do get in touch. 

 

The Borough has above national and London average poverty levels (31%) and has been hit disproportionately hard by the C-19 pandemic.
