Your local, practical Coronavirus resource

March 19, 2020 by Sharon Windebank

The Listing is here for you at the heart of our community during these concerning and unprecedented times, and we will continue to share news from our local community groups, businesses and organisations.

We have been working hard behind the scenes to create and collate this local, practical resource to Coronavirus.

There are sections on all the local Support Groups available, Self Isolation Deliveries, a section on Mental Health and Wellbeing, Activities for Adults – which include links to some of the live theatre streamings – and a brand new section on Activities for Children – covering both local and virtual activities.

THANK YOU to all of you who have contributed and please keep your recommendations and ideas coming. We will keep adding to the pages so keep checking back. You can email us at info@townhousepublishing.co.uk
Please share away so that as many people as possible can access practical support – if we can help just one person have a better day ahead then we have done our job
