UPDATE on support for vulnerable residents
The Basingstoke and Deane Community Hub continued to operate across the Easter period and responded to requests from vulnerable residents during this time.
The community hub continues to be working well and is receiving triaged enquiries from Hampshire County Council.
If you are aware of vulnerable residents in your ward who need support, please ask them to contact the Coronavirus Hampshire Helpline on 0333 370 4000.
The helpline is available seven days a week, from 9am to 5pm.
£200,000 available
Following the award of £200,000 of emergency funding last Wednesday to BVA, community groups are being encouraged to submit applications for funding – see: COMMUNITY GRANTS
A number of applications are currently being considered and funding will be issued as soon as possible to ensure groups can continue to provide support in their communities. Please help by sharing this with the groups operating in your area.
