Hello,
We are aware that we are in a very unsettling season as a country and some of us are having to self isolate, many are fearful and we are all having to stay home more. As the UK faces Coronavirus what could our response be? Could we who live at xxxxxx provide some support for each other?
So as residents of xxxxxx we suggest setting up a Whatsapp group so we can support one another. This could mean helping out with groceries, keeping an eye out for each other or providing a listening ear.
If you’d like to be part of this group, then please contact xxxx on xxxx.
Best Wishes
