WEST MALLING VOLUNTEERS
A new Volunteer Care Network is being established in West Malling to support one another during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) shutdown.
The Parish Council, local churches and other groups and societies have come together to create this network and offer help to anyone who may need it.
The schemes already set up by Malling Community Choir and by individuals in Norman and Offham Road, together with those run by the Baptist and Roman Catholic Church, will continue to operate as now. But we shall work together to share volunteers and best practice, and make sure our volunteers are protected by Insurance cover, and appropriate advice to keep both themselves and the people they help safe.
We want to set up a team of volunteers who can help vulnerable, elderly or isolated people:
• Collecting groceries
• Picking up prescriptions
• Posting mail or running errands
• Picking up the phone to befriend and encourage those living alone.
We don’t want anyone to feel isolated and alone, even while we’re all social distancing and in isolation. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to offer your help or to ask for help.
If you would like help or are offering help, then please let us know…
• By email to: wmvolunteers@westmallingpc.org
• By phone on: 07561 111676
• Alternatively, fill in the online form at https://bit.ly/WMCN-Cov19
• Or ask family, a carer or a friend to contact us for you.
We are grateful to St Mary’s Church for offering to act as the Data Controller, and providing Safeguarding and Public Liability Insurance cover to this community effort. We will ask your permission to hold your contact details for the period of time this Network is needed, and they will only be shared with those authorised to help you.
