No committee. No fees. Just neighbours helping neighbours.
What’s the Deal
We live in a community with a mix of full-time residents, holiday-home owners, families, and retirees. Some of us have cars. Some don’t. Some speak fluent Spanish. Some are still learning. Some have a garage full of tools. Some don’t even own a hammer.
So here’s a simple idea: What if we helped each other with small things?
Not big jobs. Not professional services. Just the kind of favours you’d ask a good neighbour for.
What Kind of Help Are We Talking About?
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Home & security | Holding a spare key, collecting post, watering plants, checking on a property after a storm |
| Transport | Emergency lift to the doctor, airport car share (split fuel), lift to the bus stop, explaining bus routes |
| Practical help | Lifting something heavy, translating Spanish at the doctor, helping with simple forms |
| Emergencies | Jump starting a car, letting someone in when their remote control battery dies |
| Tool sharing | Borrowing a drill, ladder, garden shears, or other basic tools – return them clean |
What we don’t do: Medical emergencies (call 112), legal advice, financial matters, structural repairs, or anything that needs a qualified professional.
How It Works – Two Simple Roles
1. Users – Neighbours Who Need Help
You don’t have to give anything back. Just ask nicely, give reasonable notice if you can, and accept a «no» gracefully – we might be busy, tired, or away.
To use the service:
Contact David. Explain what you need. If we can help, we will.
The only rule: For medical emergencies, always call 112 first. We are not doctors or paramedics.
2. Volunteers – Neighbours Who Give Help
You don’t need to be available 24/7. You don’t need to say yes to everything. You choose what you’re comfortable with and when.
What volunteering looks like:
- You join a small WhatsApp group (low traffic, no gossip)
- When someone needs help, you see if you can do it
- If you can’t, you say nothing or reply «sorry, can’t today»
- If you can, you step in
What you get in return:
- A small network of friendly neighbours
- Someone to help you when you need it
- A better, safer, kinder community
To become a volunteer:
Send David an Email or WhatsApp with your name, apartment number, and a short list of what you’re happy to help with (e.g., «keyholding, lifts, drill lending»).
