Update from Hampshire County Council - April 2020

Hampshire County Council continues to keep a close watch on the Coronavirus outbreak with processes in place to respond. The County Council is also working with Hampshire's Voluntary and Community Sector to assist with support needs for vulnerable residents (see below). Hampshire residents can stay up to date with the latest Government advice, information and guidance on www.hants.gov.uk/coronavirus

A new helpline is up and running for frail or vulnerable residents who do not have support from families, friends or their local community, and who need urgent assistance with essential food or household supplies, collection of medication, or who are at risk of loneliness. The Coronavirus Hampshire Helpline  can be contacted on 0333 3704000 and is available from 9am-5pm seven days a week. 

If you need urgent food supplies, you can expect to receive a food box, typically containing pasta, cereal, soup, uht milk, long life orange juice, bread, apples, biscuits, essential personal items eg. soup, toothpaste etc.
