About Us

Dunstable Good Neighbours is a voluntary organisation, aiming to provide help to local residents in need.


Good Neighbour schemes are volunteer groups set up and run by local residents to provide a ‘safety net’ for their village or town, helping fellow residents.

We may be able to provide short term help such as small practical tasks around the house, assistance with form filling, or friendly visits to those who are lonely or isolated.

Call our helpline number on 07491 455777 any time. During the working week (Mon-Fri, 9-5), we’ll try to answer straight away; outside those hours, please leave a message and we’ll get back to you on the next working day.

If we don’t answer leave a message and we will call you back.

Dunstable Good Neighbours is supported by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity.

Dunstable Good Neighbours officially launched on 1 December 2016.
Our MP Andrew Selous (5th from L-R) joined us on the launch night to wish us luck!

We would love to hear from you!
