Safeguarding During Coronavirus

We are co-ordinating local volunteers to help with those self-isolating. The Home Help Company is a company that caters for at-home needs for the elderly such as cleaning, meal preparation and providing company. Volunteers are offering to help collect shopping, prescriptions and give phone calls to reduce social isolation. Their volunteers will all be DBS checked.

Bearded Villains East Anglia is also offering to help, giving those who are vulnerable essentials items like toilet rolls, antibacterial hand soap and long life food. The group is offering a collection service and will be distributing the items to those who most need it.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is impacting on everyone’s lives and Cambridgeshire County Council is working with our partner district and city councils and other partner organisations to ensure that the most vulnerable in our region are well cared for.
