​At this difficult time, it is more important than ever that we do everything we can do to support each other. If you are self-isolating and need help then please contact one of the volunteers from our parish who have kindly offered to help.
PLEASE NOTE: We cannot be responsible for any arrangements made between volunteers and those seeking their help.
If you need help please follow the government advice on how to stay safe when accepting help from others:
  • If you are receiving voluntary help do not share financial details like credit/debit card numbers or personal information.
  • If someone you don’t know calls at your home, always ask for ID and always ensure you are comfortable sharing details like your phone number or address.
  • Only provide information on a need to know basis and if you have seen ID.
  • Do not feel pressured into providing information. If you have doubts about those who are approaching you, and are concerned, it is advised that you don’t engage, and report serious suspicious behaviour to the police.
  • Remember that genuine volunteers have been instructed not to enter your home.

Phone A Friend!

​Befriending by phone:
We are very mindful of those self-isolating and missing the very natural activity of communication!
While most will have computers, there are some in the Parish who do not. And even with access to social media, the friendly voice of a local can be welcome!
If you would like someone to call you we do have a list of people who are willing to be a phone ‘buddy’.  Please let us know, (we will not pass out your number unless you ask us to).
​Please call Alison Geen, Chair DPFC, on 01364 631276.
