Link up to help those in need

In your email please include the following information:
- Your group name
- Contact telephone number you would be happy for us to publicise
- Email address you would be happy for us publicise
- A brief description of the support your group can offer e.g. shopping, prescription pick up, information and advice, outreach to vulnerable/elderly
