The Parish Council has also set up a community self-help arrangement to help see us all through the crisis.
The purpose of this initiative is to help each other – not just the most vulnerable – because we all may need some sort of help, even if we are lucky enough not to fall ill. The closure of many shops and the disruption to other shopping and services can present people with all sorts of new difficulties. This is already a notably friendly and neighbourly place to live and between us we have an amazing collection of skills, talents and contacts. There is lot that we can do help each other not just survive but thrive at this strange time.
The kind of help we are thinking about ranges from making a phone call to a neighbour to dispel the isolation blues, to shopping and collecting prescriptions on behalf of those who find themselves needing to be isolated at home.
At the village level the coordinators are:
Kingston – Ted Flint: , 844507
Brixton – Chris Buchan Jones: , 841768
Monkton – Tass Richardson: , 844031
If you are worried, or need any help, please do contact one of these coordinators.
Please keep looking out for each other!
