GREAT COXWELL SUPPORT GROUP

9/10/2020

 
As you may remember, the Great Coxwell Support Group was established back in March at the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic, to provide support to those households in the village who needed a bit of help in these difficult times.  The Group comprises volunteers from across the village. I have been acting as co-ordinator and a point of contact.  Each Volunteer has been allocated one or more households to keep in touch and offer support where needed. 

If you are new to the village and are not sure how to reach out to a volunteer, please contact me and I will connect you.  Every household has a volunteer allocated – even the volunteers!  Equally, if you would like to volunteer in some way please let me know using the contact details below.

Although lockdown eased for a while over the summer months, we agreed to keep our village volunteer network in place.  That has proved to be prudent as the second wave of the pandemic has kicked in.  If national or local lockdown measures tighten further, and as a result, you feel you need some help, please don’t hesitate to ask your volunteer in the first instance, or myself. 

One of our volunteers is Jonny Farrow.  He has been an absolute stalwart and has continued to provide a prescription service throughout the summer.  The Village Community Fund presented Jonny with a voucher from John Lewis and some of his favourite tipple in acknowledgement and thanks of all the time and work he has given in collecting/delivering prescriptions to the village since the commencement of Lockdown in March.  Jonny has also undertaken other tasks such as taking post to the Post Office and even hearing aids to be mended.  Many of those he has supported have expressed their gratitude and asked me to pass on their thanks to him.

The team of village volunteers are helping where asked and much praise has been passed on to me by those who have and are continuing to be supported.  A BIG THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.  Thank you so much for being part of the Volunteer Group and undertaking to support others in difficult times.

Prescriptions

Jonny Farrow has very kindly volunteered to continue collecting prescriptions on a Wednesday and Thursday of each week.  It may be that the day/time is flexible as he may have other commitments, but we will endeavour to collect on the designated day for each Surgery.

Wednesday – White Horse Surgery, Faringdon 

Thursday – Elm Surgery, Shrivenham

I compile the list for Jonny each week and if he is unable to go, I will do so.

Please email me on burns.amanda@btinternet.com or telephone on 01367240142.

(NB - currently my landline number is out of order and being worked on by BT.  Please use my email address or my mobile – mobile number is 07968439408.  

Best regards and stay safe,

Mandy

​Ps.  The Village Community Fund also presented a lovely outside plant to me too.  Thank you everyone!
