Community support services

From 1 April 2022 the government removed all domestic restrictions in England that had been in place to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

Support services by the Community Support Line that have been available to people who were self-isolating due to Covid-19 have now stopped.

There is still help available to people living in the borough who are unable to rely on family, friends or other support networks to meet their essential needs:

Foodbank, Toiletries, School Uniforms, Baby and Toddler Bank
