Local Covid19 Community Network (LCCN)
LCCN – Background and People
.
We are all Working Together to Pull Together
The Local Covid-19 Community network (LCCN) has been set up to help the community at a time when many of us are self-isolating and need extra assistance and reassurance. You may have seen our flyer posted through your letterbox by the postman (Click here to see a copy). LCCN is set up and run by residents.
We’re reaching out to people in Rushlake Green, Warbleton, Chapmans Town, Dallington, Punnets Town, Three Cups, Turners Green and Bodle Street Green. Many local communities are already checking in on family, neighbours and friends, calling them to ensure they are okay. And many volunteer groups already exist in each different area. The LCCN is in contact with key volunteers in each area who are helping those who are having to self-isolate or are in one of the vulnerable groups. We’re offering help with emergency deliveries, collecting prescription medicines, and are also here to give a friendly call should you just want to talk to someone.
The group was initially set up with the support of the Rushlake Green Big Lunch and its sponsors Foresters and Batcheller Monkhouse. We are now also working closely with Warbleton and Dallington Parish Council, many individuals and existing community initiatives .
