Lamberhurst Community Outreach Support (LCOS)
Coping with your day to day routine during the Coronavirus outbreak may seem daunting but help is on hand in Lamberhurst, as we have set up a team of volunteer helpers in your local area to assist you.
Whether you have suspected or confirmed COVID-19, or you are choosing to self-isolate, volunteers are available to assist in jobs such as:
How do I access this service? By now you should have received a note through your door from your local Volunteer Helper. Please contact this person and explain what help you need. Alternatively you may call Cllr Dawn Beeby if you are unsure of who your designated helper is on: 07376 369699 / 890893 or email at [email protected] How do I pay for goods? Government has suggested we avoid using cash for the obvious reason that it can carry germs. If you are ordering from the shop (890278), The George & Dragon (891807) or Moby Dicks (07904 234618) please call ahead with your order, pay by card and inform your volunteer helper if you need help with a collection and delivery. Safety First! We are very conscious of avoiding the spread of the virus, so all helpers have been briefed on how to protect themselves and we ask that you minimise your risks by continuing to wash your hands thoroughly, before and after, a delivery, and cough into your sleeve. If you prefer not to open your door during a delivery, please inform your Volunteer Helper and they will give you a poster to put up in your front window to warn others of your self-isolating preference. During in times of crisis, regrettably we are aware that criminals may creep out of the woodwork so if you don’t know your volunteer helper and are worried for your safety, please contact Dawn Beeby and we will issue you and your helper with a password to initiate trust. |
