Hi, how does one get help at short notice for little jobs, eg run out of few essentials, milk, sugar. Or help putting mobility scooter in the car, please? There's only so many times you can beg a neighbour, before they start ignoring your messages. I don't blame them, but it's awful when it spoils the friendship too xxx

Hi @SueW welcome to the community - it can be hard to ask for help.

Do you want to tell us a bit more about yourself? What are your needs?
