Posted on 22nd December 2010 by lilianfranceNote: Please visit www.bh-impetus.org/ncs for more up to date information about the NCS or www.bh-impetus.org/contact/ to contact us.
We support older people and adults with physical and/or sensory disabilities and their carers by putting them in touch with local volunteers who assist them in a variety of ways. We are a good neighbour scheme, and try to make positive connections between neighbours and create more caring neighbourhoods. The scheme operates in the Coombe Road, Hangleton & Knoll, Hanover, North Laine, North Portslade, Patcham & Hollingbury, Poets Corner/ Vallance, Queens Park, Regency and Whitehawk/Bristol Estate/Manor Farm areas of Brighton & Hove.
The NCS staff are:
