Coronavirus: Meon Valley MP Flick Drummond makes list of all constituency services there to help amid Covid-19 outbreak
AN MP has compiled a list of groups and services in her constituency which are helping residents during the coronavirus pandemic.
The list, put together by the Conservative MP for Meon Valley, Flick Drummond, is being updated regularly and gives points of contact for organisations across 28 areas.
These include Bishop’s Waltham, Swanmore, Wickham, Soberton, Catherington, Clanfield, Corhampton, Denmead, Hambledon, Horndean, Rowlands Castle and Whiteley.
Community Facebook groups, shops offering home delivery, council helplines and residents’ groups are all among the signposted services.
Mrs Drummond said: ‘While the government is taking a number of very effective steps nationally, a huge amount of work is going on locally to help us all get through this emergency.
‘We are all going to have to come together to tackle this virus, particularly when it comes to protecting the vulnerable and elderly residents in our communities, and I hope this list will help in a small way.
‘I would also very much like thank those many people who are helping in their local area delivering groceries or offering other practical support.
‘It’s a tremendous effort and it shows a real spirit of togetherness to see us through this challenge.’
The effort mirrors a number of new community services set up further south, in and around Portsmouth, in response to the disruption of coronavirus.
Mrs Drummond and her team will continue to update the list, but you can call (020) 7219 8018 or email [email protected] if there is an initiative you wish to see added.
