The good neighbours scheme Whissendine is a group of volunteers to help with needs in their community.
They will help residents by offering services such as lifts to the doctors or hospital, taking someone shopping, befriending and taking on odd jobs.
Residents can call if the need assistance.
Gwen Griffiths says "If somebody suddenly needs a hand its about us providing a safety net... we are trying to cover the support that people might need and help one another. We want to bring the village together"
