The Rodmell Good Neighbour Scheme (RGNS) was founded as a community group of volunteers run by local residents to provide assistance for neighbours who need a little bit of extra help and who might not have family nearby. It covers Rodmell, Northease and Southease. It will now be known as Rodmell Neighbours.
Originally it was set up with a dedicated phone line, but the amount of effort to keep this going has become too much, and it is now being run on a more informal basis, using a WhatsApp group. Follow the instructions to join the new Rodmell Neighbours WhatsApp group and make sure to buddy up with any neighbour who may need help, but who doesn’t use a smart phone.
The new service is now decentralised and there will be no committee running it.
