The Hale and Woodgreen Support Group are also doing a fantastic job in co-ordinating neighbours to support those parishioners in need e.g. with shopping and collecting medicines and ensuring that every parishioner knows that help is available if required and no-one slips through the net.
Our location has put us in a favourable position regarding the pandemic, with this part of the country currently showing low cases of Covid-19. The social distancing that everyone has adhered to has sought to keep the numbers low and it is essential that we all stick to this to keep ourselves and our villages safe.
