About Us

Our continuing aim is to support independent living and improve the lives of older and vulnerable people in the Ilkley District.

About Us

Ilkley & District Good Neighbours was established in the 1970s and is a local charity operating a range of social and practical schemes, constantly striving to improve the lives of the most vulnerable people in the district. We believe in the power of community action to make a difference in people’s daily lives. Each of our schemes is supported by a wonderful team of volunteers who are willing to help others around them. We operate from offices in Riddings Hall, Riddings Road, Ilkley.

Aims and Objectives

Our aim is to try to help people in a personal and friendly way. We provide free services to older, disabled and vulnerable people who require our assistance in Ilkley, Addingham and Burley In Wharfedale. If you are a resident of Menston then we highly recommend Menston Cares.

Our schemes are all designed to relieve isolation, promote economic well-being and maintain independence and stronger mental health.

Special Recognition Award

Ilkley And District Good Neighbours was awarded a Special Recognition Award at the 2022 Ilkley Business Awards.

It was a pleasure during the pandemic to be part of the Ilkley Corona response team and work with the thousands of Ilkley citizens that came forward to volunteer. With the corona hotline team, our staff and volunteers we were able to support the community with all kinds of requests and support.

During the past 18 months, our Trustees, staff and volunteers have truly stepped up and been true heroes to the community. We feel that this award would show these truly remarkable people how valued they are within Ilkley Good Neighbours and their community.”
