COVID-19 COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS

Details of the scheme >>

It is currently unknown what, if any, community response may be necessary and what may be asked of people to help out others due to the virus.

Crowthorne Parish Council is aware of the desire of many of those who are well and not self isolating to help in any way they can to volunteer in the community, assisting those who are forced to self isolate at home due to their age or health vulnerabilities in line with guidance from Central Government concerning COVID 19/Coronavirus.

Healthwatch Bracknell, Bracknell Forest Council, Involve and the various parish and town councils in the Bracknell Forest area (including Crowthorne Parish Council) are working together on a co-ordinated response. Details of the scheme can be found in the link. If you would like to volunteer for the scheme, or need help from it, please follow the link and sign up.
