About Milford on Sea Mutual Aid:
We know that by social distancing and isolating we can help to slow the spread of the corona virus and reduce the number of people who are admitted to hospital. That is why all our wonderful volunteers are offering support to the groups who are most at risk, that is: any households where someone is over 70, has underlying health conditions of any age, is pregnant, or has symptoms or has been in contact with someone with symptoms. This is a lot of people!

This is a lot of people!
We are a very sociable community, with our thriving Community Centre, and wonderful restaurants and pubs. This makes isolating and social distancing a real challenge for us. We are already rising to the challenge, because we know that it is essential to keep us all safe and, very importantly, make sure the NHS can cope.
The Mutual Aid Group has been set up to make life easier for everyone at this very difficult time. We have teams of volunteers working in their own streets, so they are supporting their neighbours. It might be with shopping, collecting prescriptions or other errands. It might be by phoning for a chat. We are all making new friends, despite not being able to actually meet up!
To keep us cheerful and to entertain us, we have the Good Newsletter, and to make sure we are all well fed, we have information on all the local shops and restaurants and caterers who are making deliveries.
We hope that this website will make it easier for everyone to find out what support there is, whether they live in our villages or want to know how their relatives living here can get support.
We are working closely with the Parish Council, and in collaboration with the Community Library, Village Voice, David Long, and are also being informed by Wistaria & Milford Surgeries, and the local pharmacies, shops, restaurants and caterers. Thanks to them all for their contributions.

Dear David
ReplyDeleteWould just like to add my thanks to Johnsons in Pless Road who between them organised my prescription pickup and delivery the very same day it was requested and with such grace and willingness. So good to see people going that extra mile for a neighbour.
Gratefully
Florence
