Covid 19 support for our local community

Community support

It is already clear that many members of our community are willing to support each other in whatever ways turn out to be practicable, and for as long as the virus outbreak lasts. We have already had a great response to our appeal for volunteers to collect and deliver food and medical supplies to those who are ill or in isolation.
If you haven't yet signed on as a volunteer or as someone expecting to need help, please do so here.
If you feel you need help (eg getting food or medical items delivered if you are self-isolated) please use the same form or call Darren (Nobby) Stiles on 01730 813666 or Neil Ryder on 01730 207447.
This page is intended to detail the help we hope to be able to provide, and we will try to update it as necessary - or as people come forward with new ideas.

Volunteers and vulnerable:

We are collecting volunteers and maintaining a list of those who are isolated or vulnerable in our community - please see the sign-on page here.
