Balsham Good Neighbour Scheme
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.
- A Community Cafe is held each month (no charge) in the Balsham Village Institute. Dates can be found in the Balsham Review.
