Let’s all regularly check on our neighbours
All of us can welcome the announcement on 2nd December 2020 of approval of a COVID-19 vaccine, but it will take time to roll it out to everyone.
In the meantime, let’s continue to help each other, as best we can, to get through this period of anxiety, uncertainty and potential loneliness before we get back to normal.
Please think about the needs of your neighbours, especially (but not exclusively) the elderly and vulnerable. Give them a call or knock on their door to check they’re OK. Make sure they have food and other essential items, check whether they need help with shopping and make sure they have your phone number(s).
We thought it would be nice to follow the initiative that started in Cornwall to spread kindness and offer help to those who may not like to ask for it. We have created a leaflet with some information about local key contacts and support resources. At the back of this leaflet, you will find two cut out cards that may be useful to offer help to a neighbour who you may be concerned about.
If you are self-isolating and do not have help from anyone else, please contact us and we will find a way to get help to you.
