Firstly, a very big thank you to all those residents who came forward to volunteer to help others in need during the Corvid-19 epidemic. If you have not been contacted this does not mean you are being ignored. I am encouraged that the community appears to be highly resilient in the lockdown. It appears that most residents either have family, friends or neighbours who are stepping in at times of need. However, if you are a vulnerable person without this help and need prescription medication collected or basic shopping please either; contact the Parish Clerk Philip Freeman on 01379 783203 or 07958 623897 or myself on the number below.
Alternatively you can contact South Norfolk Council on 01508 533933. They can pass your details on to a wider hub of volunteers who are able to help with transport to a hospital appointment and also emergency financial aid and help with benefits.
Also, we have in the village a qualified Counsellor who is able to provide wellbeing advice or help for anyone suffering from stress or other mental issues as a result of self-isolation or other Corvid-19 issues. If you would like help or even just a chat to alleviate loneliness please call me and I will put you in touch.
