Coronavirus Support Scheme Launched

Local residents in Hinckley and Bosworth who are self-isolating and have no support networks are getting help.

The borough council's launched a resident support scheme.

So far over 700 residents and tenants have been contacted and assistance provided where needed through the council and the voluntary and community sector. 

Executive member for Community Safety at Hinckley and Bosworth borough council Cllr Michael Mullaney said: “we know there will be many people in our communities who need help and support during these times and we have set up this support scheme for people who are self-isolating and may need some help as they have no support networks, like friends, family or neighbours. We are working with a range of local agencies, charitable organisations and local volunteers.
“I would also like to remind residents that whilst we need to socially distance, we also need to look out for each other. If you’re in a fortunate position, then can I ask you to volunteer to help those in our borough. You can register your interest with Next Generation, who is already working with registered charities in the area. Visit www.nextgenhinckey.org or call 01455 632984.”
