John Battle MP said

“Neighbourhood action acts as a vital source of support for the elderly in my constituency providing a wide range of activities to the elderly some of whom are in their 90’s. Its important that we support groups like neighbourhood action. I am delighted they are celebrating their 2nd year anniversary and wish them many more years of success. I hear from so many of my constituents about how much they enjoy the wide range of activities offered by the neighbourhood action group.”

Neighbourhood action supports the elderly with a wide range of activities ranging from gentle exercise classes, tai chi, inter-generational outing, health fairs, befriending, support forums, IT classes and walking groups. They are supported by 13 volunteers and 2 part-time staff and are a registered charitable trust.
