COVID-19/CORONAVIRUS - TREWEN PARISH UPDATE March 19th
Now that we have some Volunteers in place who are willing to help with shopping/collecting medications etc. we need to hear from anyone in the Parish who needs assistance now and those who feel they may need assistance soon or may just need a friendly voice at the end of the phone on a regular basis. Also if anyone knows of a member of family, neighbour or friend in the Parish who they feel may need assistance, please contact me immediately giving me their contact details so we can put something in place. At the moment, the sort of assistance we're aiming at is food shopping and picking up of vital supplies such as medication. If we need to increase the scope of help given, we will review this as we go through this crisis. Please think carefully about any shopping - meds you might require so we can keep the load as light as possible on those helping out. Please ensure you have the cash available for the shop as we don't want to have the responsibility of using your cards unless absolutely necessary. Please check the Pipers Pool Community Hub Facebook as you will find a list of local businesses who are willing to deliver various items free of charge and if anyone knows of any further outside help with deliveries, please let us know and put it on NextDoor for all to see. Keep safe & well. Contact: [email protected] or Janet Ford on 01566 86064
Covid 19 Community Volunteers needed As the current situation with the above may soon be affecting our community we need, as a Parish, to put plans in place. We need volunteers (under 69) who will be willing to carry out shopping/collect medicines and pick up orders for those who may be quarantined or self-isolating. Could you therefore please provide the Parish Clerk (Janet Ford) via email ([email protected] or by phone on 01566 86064) with names, addresses, telephone numbers/email addresses and preferred contact times, which we can then collate and send out to vulnerable parishioners by email or by dropping the details through each door to ensure those who do not have computers get the message too. Please ensure you have cash available to reimburse the volunteers for any shopping/medicines they deliver. The Parish Meeting scheduled for April 21st at 7pm at the Chapel Community Hub is, at present, taking place but this may change. Please check noticeboards for changes (if you are allowed out!!).
Thank you all – keep safe and vigilant. Nick Crawshaw Chairman, Trewen Parish Meeting 14th March 2020
