Everybody needs good neighbours and friends, and never more so
when life in our village communities is changing so fast. That is
why Felmersham and Radwell organised their own village care scheme
in 1997, in order to extend any existing help offered by
family and friends in an organised way through local village
volunteers.
Beneficiaries have varied from elderly and isolated persons, to
parents with young children who may need short-term help.
Joint ventures have been undertaken with other local
organisations to promote a link with residents and encourage a
stronger community spirit.

Should you be unsure sure whether or not we could help you,
then give us a ring anyway. If we cannot help, then maybe know
someone who can.
