Support during the coronavirus pandemic

Are you in need of extra support during the coronavirus pandemic? Or do you know someone in your local community who might need some help?

Daventry District Council is working with a range of partner organisations to co-ordinate local efforts to get people the help they need during these difficult times.

An army of volunteers has come forward to offer their help with everything from collecting prescriptions or shopping for people who cannot leave their home, to offering a friendly ear to those who might be feeling a bit lonely.

So if you are in need of any support, or know anyone who might need help, please get in touch.

Help that can be arranged includes:

▪️Collecting prescriptions

▪️Help with shopping/emergency supplies

▪️Telephone befriending

If you are in need of help and support please go to Daventry District Council’s website to complete an online form: https://bit.ly/3dvE2A4<https://bit.ly/3dvE2A4?fbclid=IwAR22O0YVYUFcG3KfO7xOwCp-1KS9ptQq8l11yRD7lPH4OJRUcHbM2YqacEQ>

Once you have completed the form, we will match you with a community group of volunteers who will contact you as soon as they can to arrange the support you need. Please be aware we are experiencing huge demand for these services at the moment, so you may not get a response straight away.
