Helping hands is a voluntary group
working in our village to help each
other. We have been running for
over eight years and have helped
with between 500 – 1500 tasks each
year.
Villagers of any age may need help
from time to time with a variety of
tasks. Our volunteers are there to
help if they can.
Keep up to date with the latest news on our
Facebook page.
How it works:
We have a designated phone number 07726 592739.
Villagers requiring help are invited to call and leave their
name and number and a short description of the help they
would need. Our phone holder will call them back within 24
hours and let them know what we can provide. Please note
that Helping Hands does not provide an emergency service.
Here are some of the things we have helped with; transport,
shopping, collecting prescriptions, gardening, small jobs [like
changing a light bulb] etc, broadband and computer
problems.
Our volunteers have all been checked by the government
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and will be wearing a
helping hands lanyard so you can ask a stranger to help with
confidence and soon they’ll no longer be a stranger but a
friend.
