Helping communities in Suffolk to become even friendlier, more supportive and kinder places to live!
What is a Good Neighbour Scheme?
A voluntary initiative run by a group of local residents who want to help people in their community to enjoy a better quality of life by offering them support with everyday tasks. This helps to build a stronger and more resilient community.
Not all groups in our Network are called Good Neighbour Schemes, but they have the same ethos and purpose.
Where are our
Suffolk
Good Neighbours?
Across our Network there are dozens of schemes and community support groups scattered across Suffolk, serving many parishes and tens of thousands of people.
Our list of Good Neighbours and their contact details are available by clicking on the link below.

In 2017, Community Action Suffolk received funding from the Big Lottery, now the National Lottery Community Fund to increase the number of schemes in Suffolk and support those already operating around the county, with the overarching aim of the project being to develop active neighbourhoods to build resilient communities through the scaling up of the Suffolk Good Neighbour Network.
CAS is the ‘go to’ organisation for VCSE organisations in Suffolk. We exist to ensure our sector, and its volunteers, is supported, safe and sustainable and that our communities are active and resilient. We provide (or signpost) whatever is needed behind the scenes to enable this, so you can concentrate on doing what you do best – making Suffolk an incredible place in which to live and work.
