Balsham Good Neighbour Scheme

Now in our fourth year of operation, the Balsham Good Neighbour Scheme (BGNS) offers various types of support for Balsham residents.

• Daily pick up of prescriptions from Linton Health Centre. Most of these are left at Balsham Post Office, but we can deliver to your home if you have need.
• Transport to local medical appointments, shopping or visits to relatives in hospital. A trip to Addenbrookes generally costs £6 for a return trip, or £12 if it’s a long visit and needs one driver there and a different one for return. That’s still cheaper than a taxi.
• Support of other kinds, such as help with computers, filling in forms or small jobs in the home (e.g. replacing a light bulb).
• A Community Lunch once a month (no charge). Get in touch if you would like to come.
• Two Community Cafés each month (no charge). Dates for these are:
  Mays Avenue – Fridays 10-12 – 2nd February; 1st March; 5th April; 3rd May; 7th June; 5th July.
  Balsham Church Institute – Tuesdays 10-12 – 13th February; 12th March; 16th April; 14th May; 25th June; 16th July
