‘Happy To Help’ Scheme closes
The Queen Edith’s Community Forum’s ‘Happy To Help’ scheme has now ended.
The scheme was set up at the start of the first ‘lockdown’ in 2020. In the 13 months that followed, over 250 local people volunteered on several hundred calls for emergency help with shopping, collecting prescriptions, and checking in on neighbours. The project was co-ordinated by a team of volunteer administrators monitoring the calls and showing our amazing community at its very best. A big thank you to administrators Anne, Chris, Claire, Fiona, James, Jessica, Joan, Lorna, Manfred, Nicki, Risa, Sam, Sean, Stephanie, Steve, Viv, Wendy and of course all of our volunteers.
Prescription Collection service changes
The Patients Participation Group at the Queen Edith Medical Practice has offered to co-ordinate requests for prescription collections from local residents who find themselves isolating or otherwise unable to leave home. This service has been provided for the last year by the ‘Happy To Help’ scheme. The contact details of the new service are to telephone 07968 538783 or email ppg@queen-ediths.info.
