The Shere Peaslake, Gomshall and Albury Good Neighbours scheme is run by Helen Esplen and Jo Kelly with a band of willing volunteer drivers. We collect prescriptions from Shere Surgery and deliver them to your home and help you get to and from appointments at the surgery. Where possible we will take villagers slightly further afield, such as to get booster vaccinations or to other appointments.
If you need a prescription collecting or a lift to Shere Surgery, please give one of us a call.

We are a long established local charity (Charity No. 239115), our purpose being to provide financial assistance to people living within the parish, who are in financial hardship. Traditionally providing regular payments to the elderly who are on a limited income, we would also like to hear of anyone else in need of assistance.
We also give one off grants to younger people, who may need help to buy a particular item, such as a buggy or washing machine.
If you feel that you qualify for financial assistance, or know of someone eligible, please contact us, using the information above.
