A group of HTAG members has volunteered to give support wherever needed to those isolated through the Coronavirus outbreak. If you know of anyone in need of shopping, medical supplies or other support, please contact htagchairman@gmail.com or 07402853706 and we will find someone to help.
Many roads are also organizing Whatsapp groups and other community support mechanisms, so if you want to be put in touch with any of these groups, let me know.
You can also volunteer on a wider basis through Voluntary Action South West Surrey. Contact the VASWS Volunteer Centre on 01483 565456 or email volunteercentresws@vasws.org.uk
We send our very best wishes for a rapid recovery to anyone who is suffering from the virus. This includes two of our councillors, John and Maddy Redpath, so very good wishes to them in their isolation. Maddy reports:
"We as a family decided to go into isolation when my dad (John Redpath) started showing all the symptoms on Saturday evening (14th March). I'm fine, I had quite a bad cough yesterday and today, very dry and persistent and a headache but I wouldn't say it was anything I would necessarily stay home from work for in ordinary times. But without testing it is impossible to know if this is actually coronavirus."
