COMMUNITY ALERT

For the benefit of everyone in our community, we have put together a small team of volunteers who are more than willing to help anyone who may need messages or prescriptions to be picked up and delivered to their homes, or in any other way that is necessary. We are particularly willing to support our senior citizens or those who are living alone and cannot get out by organising the collection of a hot meal in the evening.

If anyone of our senior citizens need some small household items attended too, or help with other small chores Please feel free to Contact 087 4605166 where we can help with these chores, this support can be organised at your convenience.

TIDY TOWNS.

The Tidy Towns Committee are seeking to support of all our Community in helping to keep our village tidy by picking up all rubbish in the vicinity of your own home, and also by helping in the watering of the flowers and flower beds etc.

CONTACT TRACING – We have been sent a suggestion that all people should be encouraged to keep a diary of all places they visit and a list of the people they have physical contact with on a daily basis.

If this is taken on board, it would reduce the workload of those working tirelessly with the job of Contact Tracing in the weeks ahead.

If this message was sent to all groups, Clubs, Societies and in turn they sent this message to all their members this would make a big difference in identify people who needed to be contacted and reduce the workload of Cotact Tracing. Pass the message on to family and friends. #flattenthecurve
