As the Duchy Helpers COVID-19 helpline has been thankfully quiet for some weeks now, we will be suspending the service unless we go back into a lockdown situation.
The Duchy Helpers were able to support 30 local households during the period from March 18th, with volunteers helping with everything from supermarket shopping to prescription collections. We hope this service has been of help to you and that you have met some new friendly faces who live locally.
