Help during the
Coronavirus epidemic
The Village Support Group is now fully up and running. Over 100
volunteers have come forward which should mean we have enough people to cope
with the forecast peak of 20% of the Parish self-isolating. The Parish
Council has also allocated a budget to buy hand sanitiser, protective gloves
and other necessities so that volunteers can carry out their work safely and to
protect those being helped from infection.
Help on offer
- Collecting prescriptions
- Collecting groceries for those at risk
- Dog walking and posting mail
- ‘Check in and chat’ for those living alone
What to do if you need help
- In all probability a neighbour will already have offered you help.
- If you have internet access visit the parish Council’s Covid-19 page (see below). We will keep it up to date and the information on it will grow.
- Ideally email covid@bcspc.org.uk this email address is monitored by a group of volunteers.
- If your need is urgent call 0300 033 1783 and a local volunteer will answer.
Tell a neighbour
We want to make sure everyone in the Parish can get whatever help they need, so
please check your neighbours are aware, particularly any who you feel may be at
risk. But please stay safe, so either telephone them or print out this
email post it through their letterbox.
