Dear Nettlebed resident
31st March 2020
You may have seen the communication and contact list popped through your doors last week listing local residents who are available to help support those who can’t get out for essential supplies. The response from our community to requests for help has been heart-warming and during the challenging times ahead of us, particularly over the next
weeks, we will need to work together to support each other and particularly the elderly, medically vulnerable and anyone who becomes unwell.
This letter is to give you some contact information as we continue to need everyone’s help to keep an eye on your neighbours, to make sure they are coping and to support them if needed.
Information: Updates will be posted on the Nettlebed News Network website: www.nettlebed.org
Contact details: If you need help, there is a central email address: nettlebedcovid19@icloud.com
If you do not have access to email, please contact by phone and leave a message: Noel Sheeran: 01491 641114
Assistance required and volunteer list:
We will retain the names and locations of those requiring assistance or able to volunteer so that we can ensure that someone regularly keeps in touch over the 11 weeks.
The list will only be used for and during the Coronavirus Period and deleted afterwards.
Please email nettlebedcovid19@icloud.com or call 01491 641114 with your name and contact details if you want to be added to the list of those who may need help or regular contact or if you are able to volunteer.
The White Hart Pub – food delivery: for the elderly, medically vulnerable and those self-isolating. We are offering a volunteer delivery service to the local community for those who need to self-isolate.
