Sunart Helpjng Hands - The Community Council met this afternoon and is updating its Resilience Plan. Representatives from the Fire Service and Ambulance Service were present as well as a rep from Sunart Community Renewables (who have confirmed readiness to assist should additional finance be required for a community response). Ewen’s Room Helpline has also offered help taking calls.
- We agreed to use this Facebook page and the community council website for regular community updates and official advice from health professionals and emergency services locally.
- we are drafting an information leaflet /survey to be delivered to every household within the next 7 days.
- this leaflet will be both a request for volunteer helpers as well as a chance for anyone who might need some assistance in the weeks or months ahead to ask for it.
- this leaflet/survey will also be available online and people can respond digitally too
- we will be setting up a community helpline to enable residents isolated at home to get help with shopping, prescriptions, telephone contact etc.
- So watch this space for more details and please respond to the flyer when it comes through your door, to let us know you need a helping hand or, if you think you can help as a ‘telephone’ volunteer, prescription or food delivery driver etc!
Clearly many of us are going to be stuck at home whether voluntarily or following government advice. A great way to help will be to help on a rota taking phonecalls or to offer to keep in touch by phone with someone else who is stuck at home and may feel lonely.
Again thank you to those who have made contact already.
