​CORONA VIRUS – COVID-19 EMERGENCY

ASHFORD SOCIETY – HELPING HANDS NETWORK

​During the current emergency, the Ashford Society has formed the “Helping Hands” network – a local support group of up to 30 helpers who have registered to provide villagers with a wide range of practical assistance – from friendly chats by phone or email to home-baked cakes to shopping, deliveries, collecting prescriptions, dog walking, and so on. If you contact us (see below), we’ll do all we can to help while minimising risks.
As well as helping, the Ashford Society gives regular email updates – so (if you are not already a member) do register and join the society.
Register and get further information from Dale Hall (549453 or 07771 847768
or dale@ors.org.uk).
