Assured Property and The Good Neighbours Project
The Good Neighbour Projects aim is to be a catalyst for change, to help provide a hand-up.
They provide many excellent services from their Drop-In Centre but not everyone in need will always come in. Through their Loaves & Fishes and FullFill projects they go to the community rather than waiting for people in need to come to them. Loaves and Fishes is about delivering lunches to school children whose teachers have identified them as coming to school frequently without food. A team of volunteer make packed lunches and drive them by midday to 15 Hamilton schools.
FullFill is a community van that goes out to a different part of Hamilton, each weeknight. It leaves at 5.30pm and returns around 7.30pm having visited from 3-5 streets. Depending on the time of the year from 200 to over 400 people come out to the FullFill van each week. The volunteer teams that go out on the FullFill van never cancel for the weather. Even on the most bitter winter night people still come out to the FullFill van.
We were so impressed with what Good Neighbour Projects are doing that we bought them a car, to make it easier for volunteer drivers to deliver lunches and run errands without having to take the van, which was difficult for some volunteers to drive. The new car has also helped them increase the number of schools they can reach each day.
