Hopefully now every household in Repton, Bretby, Newton Solney and Milton are aware that a support group has formed to get us all through Covid 19.
The amount of help, ideas and care offered by so many in our community is astounding and humbling. Thank you everyone.
This will be an ever-changing picture in the coming months and the issues will alter frequently. We are a network of over 100 local residents who are in touch with each other to adapt to whatever community needs we have.
Please note – we are not medical practitioners, nor are we a charity. We do not give advice about how to manage the Covid 19. We must all follow the Government Guidelines.
Many of you will already have a trusted person you talk to – from Evergreens, Lunch Group, WI, Coffee Morning, Church, neighbours, family, friends etc. Do continue to talk to these and help each other.
If there is something you can’t ask them for or you can’t manage between you, call the person whose number has been posted through your door or one of the numbers at the bottom of the page.
We will be doing our best to ensure that no one is left isolated and in need and that opportunities for all of us to be exploited are minimised for example around paying for shopping.
In addition, if anyone (volunteer or isolated person) should feel uncomfortable whilst dealing with any individual please contact a member of the Action Team (detailed below).
