UPDATE AS TO WHERE WE ARE
The services we planned to deliver at the start of March are very different from what we are delivering mid-April! The situation changes sometimes hourly but we are doing our best to do our best!
We are currently still making lunch/tea and providing a companionship service to our existing customers and are open to new ones. We are doing lots of shopping for the elderly, vulnerable, Covid sufferers and people who are shielding. Chiara is doing monthly Singing at Social Distance although we are looking for grant funding or donations to unfurlough her and make this a free at point of delivery service. At the moment we are taking monthly booking as she is furloughed for the statutory three weeks.
Its difficult times with us being an existing paid for services with so many volunteers offering similar services at no cost. We have the advantage of being an existing tried and tested organisation, we are insured, all staff are Enhanced DBS checked, carry photo ID, have PPE and are adhering to National Health guidelines.
Had this lovely review on facebook this week and have had lots of acknowledgement of the services we are providing. See our Facebook page for some of the videos and newspaper reports on our service.
Until the lockdown I had never heard of this company but boy did they step up to the plate when they were needed. They were there to do my parents main weekly shop and deliver it right to the door. Dad is 93 and slow on his feet. They were very patient and made sure they waited until he had opened the door and acknowledged the delivery. They were also very friendly and helpful over the phone when they took the order and nothing was too much trouble. I can’t speak highly enough of this company and would highly recommend them without reservation.
