Good Neighbours DIY Volunteer

The Good Neighbours project recruits, trains and supports volunteers to carry out a variety of practical tasks commonly associated with those carried out by a ‘good neighbour’. This role will involve helping local residents with tasks in and around the house. In line with the current government guidelines, a volunteering role has been developed to help local residents in North Tyneside with DIY jobs in and around the house. These tasks range from changing a light bulb to putting up a bird box, all in all simple jobs and repairs. The role of a DIY volunteer will be to provide practical help around the house and a friendly chat. VODA and the Good Neighbours project are seeking to recruit volunteers with the suitable DIY skills and compassion.
