In a joint statement issued with Malmesbury Town Council about the new partnership, we set out these aims
- Help vulnerable individuals and families in our local community during the Coronavirus crisis
- Provide additional back up to the fantastic family, neighbour and street support in place.
- Help coordinate the response of local Community Groups to ensure all our actions are aligned and effective.
- Help resolve problems around essential food order and collection, prescription collection and support well-being.
The Town Council is leading on all offers of, and requests for, help related to the Coronavirus health crisis:
- Volunteers need to register with the Town Council if they are willing to help people they don’t already know.
- Please email administration@malmesbury.gov.uk or tic@malmesbury.gov.uk or download the form HERE.
- Individuals and families can request help (or ask for it on behalf of others that they believe need help). The Town Council will coordinate this, working as safely as possible with volunteers and other providers, or may give suitable advice.
- If you need this type of help, call Malmesbury Town Council on 01666 822143 between 9.30 am and 1 pm Monday to Friday (hours will be kept under review) or email tic@malmesbury.gov.uk, including contact details.
- Individuals or families whose needs go beyond collecting food, prescriptions and other straightforward matters, will have their details forwarded by the Town Council to HEALS so that we can use our experience and specialist knowledge to help them. This may include debt problems, rent or Council Tax arrears, housing difficulties or the need for Foodbank vouchers – all issues HEALS deals with routinely.
- If you are not an existing Service User, other than for issuing Foodbank vouchers, for legal reasons, we will require you to complete a simple HEALS user registration form by phone or email. Please contact the Town Council in the first instance using the contact details above.
