The Parish Council, members of the PCC and local volunteers have come together to produce an initial response Area covered?: Church Lawford & King’s Newnham Parishes Why? Because we have a relatively high number of residents who may be asked to self-isolate for up to 12 weeks which will make daily life difficult, practically and socially. What’s the aim? To ensure that those who need support have got it to sustain self-isolation over an extended period. Wherever we can, we will also aim to help with the practical issues encountered by those self-isolating and their supporters Self-Isolating, or Supporting someone Self-Isolating? If you need support for one-off requests such as prescription collection or a postal delivery, please contact Sam as above. If you have self-isolated and you anticipate a need for longer term support, please contact Julie Melck on 07791 525918, or email churchlawfordclerk@gmail.com. We will try to match you up with volunteers to meet your needs. It would be useful to let us know you are in isolation even if you have support in place now so that we can help with the support you need.
If you cannot contact Julie Melck or Sam Ryan, or you have any other support concerns or questions, please contact any other member of Church Lawford Parish Council: Jeremy James 07710 820547 jeremyowenjames@gmail.com Derek Holland 07710 210716 derekholland46@gmail.com Sara Reilly 07471 479780 sarareilly@hotmail.com Helen Smith 07799 017758 helen.smith@accsysprojects.co.uk Please be aware that by providing name, address and health status information to this local support group you are permitting them to store and use that information solely for the purposes outlined above, and you understand that it will be kept confidential.
If you are not already connected, it would be a good idea to join the village Facebook group, as it supports faster communication : https://www.facebook.com/groups/146240729362222/ Many thanks to relatives, friends and neighbours helping those currently in self-isolation, the offers being made on the village Facebook group, and the PCC initiative to develop and maintain the list of support volunteers – community support in action!
