Covid 19 Local Coordinated Support As a result of COVID-19, many people are self-isolating and may have difficulty with shopping, collecting emergency supplies or keeping in touch with people socially. There are community groups being set up to help alleviate these worries. You can contact a group if you need help, or if you want to volunteer. If you’re able to volunteer – please look on the home page of the Age UK Wiltshire website ‘If you want to help older people’ section.

If you or someone you know requires help - we hope you will find the following information helpful:

Top tips • Can you make payment for items or purchase online or by telephone to save you needing to go out, or ask friends, family or neighbours to do this for you? • Be aware of scams at this difficult time, they may target isolated and more vulnerable people • Your local supermarket, farm shop, greengrocers or pub may be offering deliveries of food or meals during this time – contact them to ask. • Age UK Wiltshire ‘Shopping Options’ guide has details of local grocery delivery companies that deliver throughout the year. Also a ‘Hot and Frozen meal delivery services’ guide (although some of these may be affected by the current circumstances.) Find these on AUKW website ‘Trades and Services search’ page under the ‘Health and Wellbeing’ category: https://www.ageuk.org.uk/wiltshire/our-services/local-services-and-traders/.

• Wiltshire Council are also collating a list of groups and individuals: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/public-health- coronavirus There is a link under the ‘Community Support and Volunteering’ heading The following table gives details of local community groups and businesses offering support, although the information is constantly changing (note we do not endorse or recommend any of these groups): Whilst Age UK Wiltshire are not able to offer a home help/errands/shopping service ourselves, we will do our best to help in exceptional circumstances so please contact us.
