Covid 19 Help
In order to preserve the information we collated as part of the village Covid 19 response this page now contains the information that was contained on the front page.
This page will be maintained over the coming months in case we go into lockdown again
- Coronavirus and Community Support
- As the coronavirus measures ease we are still able to help anyone that needs assistance. Everyone will have their own risk assessment of the current risks against their own particular circumstances and so individuals will be venturing out more. For the clinically vulnerable this may take some time and we are still here to help anyone that needs help. Please contact us through admin@whitsbury.com or one of the Whitsbury Helpers.
- We are a close community and we wanted to make sure that everyone feels safe and supported as we navigate our way through the current coronavirus pandemic.
- You will have had a leaflet and newsletter put through your door explaining that a group of us have formed a community support group to allow Whitsbury residents to reach out to for help or assistance if you are self isolating or are ill.
- This has worked really well and we have managed to help a few of you over the last few weekss.
- We are very happy to help villagers whether that be food shopping, prescription pickup, errands or just someone to chat with or wave through the window !! We can arrange for someone to check on you to make sure you are OK periodically especially if you are alone or in a higher risk group.
- We will develop ideas and areas of help that can be provided as follows:
