This is a message from the Local Covid-19 Community Network (LCCN).  

Apologies if you are receiving this message several times, we are using all local networks to reach out to as many people as possible in the Parish of Warbleton which includes Rushlake Green, Bodle Street Green and Chapmans Town amongst others.

We are a group of local residents who have come together during a time where some people are finding it hard to access the help they need within our Parish area. 

We’re mobilising local networks to help us support the most vulnerable in the area and those self-isolating. This includes those over 70, those with underlying health conditions or if you just need extra community support at the moment due to the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak.

NEED SUPPORT?

We’re reaching out to those who might want support. If you would like to speak to us, or want to ask for help, please call 01435 898020 between 8.30am and 7pm each day or email  LCCnetwork2020@gmail.com and let’s see how we can help. This might be arranging deliveries, picking up shopping and medication, a friendly phone call, posting mail or other urgent supplies.

Please note, this is not a medical help line – please see links to advice from the government and NHS if you feel unwell by clicking on the links below.

GIVE SUPPORT 

We are seeking volunteers to help people throughout the whole parish area. If you would like to support the community and join in, we can add you (or your existing group) to this network to coordinate support. 

This might involve you arranging deliveries, picking up shopping and medication, a friendly phone call, posting mail, other urgent supplies. If you are self-isolating yourself, you may want to help remotely by, for example, contacting people by phone.

Please email your contact details, and thoughts on how you could help, to LCCnetwork2020@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you with further information.

RUSHLAKE GREEN VILLAGE STORES

They will put it together and deliver it to you at the bench under the Warbleton sign in the green opposite the shop
