In many cases, friends, family and good neighbours will be offering such support with a range of tasks.
And for those who are not able to rely on their own network, CBC are inviting residents to get in touch so they can assess what they need and whether we can either help directly or point them in the direction of other organisations who may be able to do so.
The number that residents should call is 0300 300 8900.
For those with access to the web, an e-form has been set up to allow people to register their need for help digitally. The form is available on the website at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/covidhelp
CBC are also producing a leaflet which we will make available to Town and Parish Councils, as well as other community groups and organisations, so that this can be distributed to residents, particularly those who may not be online.
