COVID-19 Support
Working together to support Hurst

In addition to support being provided by Wokingham Borough Council, working with various charities around the borough, Hurst has over 60 volunteers available to offer help should you need it for shopping, collecting medications or just someone to have a chat with during these difficult times.

If you would like to speak to us, or want to ask for help, please view the list of helpers and we'll see how we can help.

You can easily find volunteers in your area - just select your road or click on a map.

Some volunteers have offered to have a chat on the phone, some have offered to collect any medication and some to shop. If the volunteer cannot help, they can contact another volunteer for you.

 
Even if you’re self-isolating, you're not alone.
