Welcome to our Blog...

Hello and welcome to our blog, my name is Allison Wood and I'm the Neighbourhood Care Independence Volunteer Development Manger Age UK West Cumbria.  The Neighbourhood Care Independence (NCI) Programme is supported by Cumbria County Council as part of the council's commitment to neighbourhood care.  The NCI Programme is for adults aged 18+ in Allerdale and Copeland is provided by a Partnership of 22 local voluntary organisations led by Age UK West Cumbria.

This is an interesting and exciting time for NCI and also for myself as I'm new to blogging, but fingers crossed and with great support from my colleagues in IT and yourself we will be a  success.   My aim is to link in with our 22 partners and bring you up-to-date information, photo's and details of volunteering opportunities and fourth coming events etc.

NCI has been running one year today which is great news for all persons involved..."here's to another great year!"  

Don't forget the fourth coming NCI Celebration Event on Tuesday 15th April 2014...for further information please do not hesitate to contact us!
