A thought came to me today how can we all help out with our community and neighbours so this post was born. There’s no denying the fear running through the country at the moment and the only way to pull through will be if we all muck in! This could be collecting prescriptions to walking a dog Perhaps if you felt inclined you could post your area and your offer of help? I can kick off with saying I am in Willand Mid Devon if anybody in this area needs anything then get in touch. This may all seem a little happy clappy but the saddest thing for me at the moment is thinking of elderly with nobody to go to. Let’s all keep positive!

Most villages/towns have there own Facebook page. If they are anything like ours then there has been stuff getting organised for ways for folk to help each other out for at least a week now.

Yep, we're doing it through our Community Association and informally too. If all who can do just a little thing once or twice a week, it will make a huge difference to many.

Certainly didn’t mean to come across as under mining other efforts it’s great we are all pulling together just thought maybe people like me wouldn’t be on Facebook but have worked out how to use this. I had no idea all these groups existed it’s great

Our area has distributed these cards elerly, health issues etc to pop in house windows if need help.
Regulars walk round and keep eye out?
No good if outlining farms though.
