A group to co-ordinate volunteer assistance for those who are affected by the current Coronavirus situation in Ringwood and surrounding areas.

We mainly plan to help out people who are self-isolating and so cannot leave their houses. People are free to ask for and volunteers are free to offer other kinds of assistance related to the impact of Coronavirus on local residents. In all cases we will follow government guidance.

This group does not seek to replace our public services, who do an excellent and vital job. We augment what they can do for the benefit of residents.

Considering making a donation?

So many people need help as a result of Coronavirus and any amount you donate will help us to provide vital services.On behalf of everyone impacted – THANKYOU
