A message to all volunteers

Thank you very much for your support so far, and we hope you will continue to help support our residents throughout this difficult time.

We do want to know a few things from you to help us target the support we can give going forward:

1. Are you still happy to volunteer to assist vulnerable and elderly residents?

2. Are you currently assisting any residents, either by shopping, etc or checking they are okay?
If so, we would like to know about this to help us better understand the scale of need.

3. If you are already assisting anyone, however you’re doing it, what problems have you discovered?
We would like to know this so we can work on solutions to common problems wherever possible.

If you are able to answer any of these questions, please send your replies to the Chairman of the Parish Council, Councillor Dan Kinsey at – dankinsey@hotmail.co.uk

We have now established a private Facebook group for all of our registered volunteers. It is called ‘Wombourne Community Assistance Group’. Please find us and join the group (you do have to have a Facebook account to join). Here is a link – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1628099680686569/

We realise just how important building and maintaining a strong community is at this time, and we hope this group will enable us all to better share this experience with each other, support and celebrate all of our efforts.

This is a private group and only individuals who have signed up to be a volunteer will be able to access it. We would ask you to respect the privacy of others and do not share personal details of anyone you may be supporting with this group. If you do need to seek support, please anonymise the resident you are talking about.

Thank you once again for your time and your assistance, it’s very much appreciated.

If you have any queries, please feel free to call the Parish Council Office on 01902 896300.

Kind regards,

Rachael
