Where to find more help during the Covid19 (Coronavirus) crisis

Our volunteers, the church and the parish council are working hard to help our community and offer support to residents in our village. A big thank you to you all!

Welford Community Support Network: Thanks to our local community volunteers,
most residents have now received a flyer with the contact details of volunteers happy to
help elderly / vulnerable members of the community who are in self-isolation. If you are
in need of help and do not yet have a flyer, please contact the Parish Council Clerk at
welfordpc@yahoo.co.uk or 07715 211340.
