Dear Resident
As the coronavirus situation in our country continues and we are seeing an increase in cases again, it was suggested at the recent Village Meeting AGM that we reignite the community support network. Again, there is a potential need to help our more vulnerable residents, those who become ill or those advised to self isolate.
I will assume that those who were willing and able to offer help before still feel the same, so please let me know if this is not the case and I’ll remove you from the list. During the lockdown we bought food and essentials for people isolated at home, fetched prescriptions from the pharmacies, posted parcels, made friendly phone calls and banked cheques. Also on the list of services people offered was dog walking and delivering ready prepared meals.
It was a simple task of matching requests for help with a volunteer. This was either done through me or on an individual basis. We had more volunteers than we had requests though so, if there is an arrangement between individuals, please be aware that there are others who can help out too if required.
If you do not wish to be included in any forum or email communication, please let me know (heatherwhite1912@gmail.com, 07748 020509).
I won’t circulate another flyer this time, so please pass this message on to anyone who is not on our village email circulation list.
If you have any good ideas that we’ve not yet thought of, again, please share them; otherwise, best wishes to all and let’s hope that the country gets on top of this situation as soon as possible.
Heather
