The government has tasked Swale Borough Council with coordinating how to get support out to the most vulnerable people in the community.
We need to make sure they can access information and can contact us to let us know the support they require. This also involves engaging with our partners in the community and voluntary sectors for their support.
SBC are already working hard to help the local community respond to this unprecedented situation, and this scheme is an important part of that.
The government has told us to expect more information and guidance in the coming days, and we are working to be ready for when they ask us to step in.
We are now looking for volunteers to help with deliveries of food and medicines to the vulnerable residents in Swale and have set up an online form for people interested in helping deliver this work.
Please note that we are looking for volunteers who are not in one of the high risk categories.
You can visit the Public Health England website to check if you are in one of the high risk categories
Training will be given, and social distancing measures will be followed by all temporary support and voluntary roles.
Swale Borough Council have appointed an officer to be the main point of contact between themselves and the parish and town councils and they will be sharing more information as and when we know how this is going to work.
