Helping your neighbours

With COVID-19 affecting people across the country, your neighbour may well need your help if they become unwell.

Could you help your neighbours?

You could help your neighbour by:

  • Making sure they have enough food and other general supplies to cover a few days - there is no need to panic buy.
  • Walking their dog.
  • Picking up a prescription.
  • Putting out their bins or taking in a parcel.
  • Phoning, Skyping or Facetiming them so they can see a friendly face, which will help reduce their isolation.
  • Sharing child care or other caring responsibilities.
  • Checking if any of their planned appointments have been cancelled before they travel.
  • Making sure they have some simple recipes to hand, if they are not the normal chef, or have done some batch cooking for the freezer.
