SELF ISOLATING due to Corona Virus
Burrough Green has a COMMUNITY PHONE you can ring or text if you need help with:
· Picking basic groceries up
· Collecting medicines
· Posting mail
· Or just a friendly chat!
07715574296
It will never be too much to ask – please use this service when you need it. If the phone goes to voicemail, please leave a message and someone will get back to you ASAP.
We ask that grocery requests are limited to basics.
Arrangements to exchange money and items will be agreed between you and the volunteer to limit any contact.
If anyone would like to volunteer to help, please text: 07715574296
