Christmas is a time for celebration but it can also be a very lonely time. Some people can feel isolated or worried about poverty, debt, mental health and much more. If you are affected by any issues in the run-up to Christmas, we can link you up with someone who can help.
Monmouthshire County Council aims to support the community response to COVID-19
Our plan is: –
- Using placed based teams we will support community led response groups, we will do this using local and national advice/guidance. All at arms-length, it is not our place to own community activity but we will definitely help.
- We will support Volunteering for Wellbeing programme to recruit and support volunteers in specific roles.
- We will kick start Our Monmouthshire an online community exchange to complement and strengthen the community effort.
Here is a toolkit resource being developed by Mutual Aid UK for community action groups https://covidmutualaid.org/
