During this difficult time, it is more important than ever that we are here for each other. If you are self-isolating due to Covid-19 or find yourself needing support, then help is at hand with things such as:
Shopping | Supplies | Posting Letters |
Collecting Parcels | Picking Up Prescriptions | Dog Walking |
Supplying books, puzzles, etc | A friendly phone call | Sharing News |
There are a team of volunteers based in the village who are happy and willing to help for free so please don’t feel alone - we are all in this together. If you live on your own, please let us know and we will arrange regular calls to you to stay in touch.

We will then put arrangements in place via ourselves or the many people who have come forward to help.
The White Swan have made their full menu available to take away as well as their usual take away menu and will be offering a delivery service. They will also be offering entire week nutritionally balanced meal packs delivered to those self isolating. Further information will be given about this shortly.

This is just the start of how the Woodnewton Support Group is taking steps to help us all. If you have any ideas or requirements, please use the contact details above. Similarly, if you would like to help, please do let us know.
Please remember that Coronavirus is contagious. Please take every precaution to ensure you and everyone stays safe. Avoid physical contact (keep at least a 2m distance) and stay at home if that is the advice given to you. Wash your hands regularly. Shopping, supplies etc. may have to be left outside but you will be called to let you know it is there.
