A number of volunteers have come forward who will co-ordinate support, and/or actually be the ones who shop, collect prescriptions, arrange a supermarket delivery, etc for those who need to self-isolate in the village - either because of age (assuming the directive for all over 70s to self isolate does come out later) because of existing conditions or because of symptoms. 

We have a number of volunteers who are happy to help but more would be good.  If you think you could help, please contact me, Chris Field, on 01243 641 493 or chrisannfield@hotmail.com.

Meanwhile, if you are self-isolating and need help, contact any of the following who will arrange for some-one to contact you and help -

Chris Field, 01243 641 493,   chrisannfield@hotmail.com

Alison Bell, 01243641 274, bellplumbing@btinternet.com

Suzanne and Bryan Bone, 01243 641 495, dembones369@btinternet.com

Gary Hopkinson, 01243 641641, gary,hopkinson@sky.com

Janet Harland 01243 641 698, janetlharland@btinternet.com

Al Horsley, 01243 641 839, alexandra@expatriatelaw.com

Steven Foden,  01243 641 035, fodenseven@gmail.com

We have been told that the scams have already started with strangers knocking on the door of self isolating households and offering to do shopping.  The householders hand over the money for the shopping and never see the scammer, or their shopping, again.
Those from the village referred to you by us will identify themselves by name and, if it is not the person that you contacted, will say that they have been sent by (the name of the person whom you contacted).  All of the volunteers are known to us.

This blog will be updated with information on this and other parish issues  so please check it regularly to keep yourself up to date.


Chris Field.
