Help & Support
There are times when we all need help and support. We have a team of people who are willing to be available to offer appropriate help to anyone in need. Perhaps someone to talk to or help through a difficult time. E.g. sickness or bereavement. You may need practical help or to get in touch with a particular organisation and are not sure where to start.
We aim to be available; to extend a helping hand or a listening ear wherever it is needed. We will not duplicate the work of other caring bodies but will try to ensure that help is received where it is needed. Contact Beverley (01280 817399) or Judith (01280 813887).
