Village Support

Needham Parish Council

The Parish Council is extremely concerned for the welfare of vulnerable members of our community in self-isolation during the coronavirus emergency that may not have access to help from friends or family.  Acknowledging the potential seriousness of the current situation the Parish Council has agreed on the following course of action:

·      As a first line of defence The Parish Council requests that residents of Needham who are fit and well look to the welfare of any possibly vulnerable neighbours who may not have support from their own families. A card is included in this edition that you can put through the letterboxes of your neighbours.  If people are able to shop or collect prescription medicines for their neighbours, could they do so, please.

·       Secondly, the Parish Clerk has generously offered to act as a clearing house for requests for help.  If you are a vulnerable person who is without support from your own family or neighbours and therefore are in danger of having no access to prescription medication or basic shopping please contact the Parish Council through the Parish Clerk, Mr Philip Freeman on 01379 783203 or 07958 623897 or on philip.c.freeman@btinternet.com. In such cases the Parish Council will endeavour to mobilise a community volunteer to assist you. Please note that such volunteers will only be able to shop for basic supplies (subject to availability) and/or take and collect prescriptions to local health centres.  

·       If you are able to help create a network of volunteers and we can pass on your details, please then let me know.

Please note though that the Parish Council as a body has limited resources, no medical training and no specialist equipment. In addition to this a number of councillors fall into vulnerable groups or work full time.  In line with government guidelines Parish Council meetings are currently suspended.
