Support for Isolated and Vulnerable Residents - have we missed anybody?
During the current Pandemic, many people are isolating at home. Some will be self-sufficient. Some may have family, friends and neighbours who are providing support.
Havant Borough Council, working with Community First has set up a helpline that residents in the Borough can ring, should they require assistance; shopping, prescription collections, dog-walking, a friendly voice to speak to etc.
Requests for assistance are passed to voluntary groups around the borough, some specifically set up for this purpose.
There is a concern, that while many, many people are being supported, some people might be falling through the net. They need support, but are not aware of whom to turn to.
Therefore, I would be grateful if you could share the message below with your family, friends, neighbours etc. Share it on Facebook, email it to any social groups you belong to.
