In Hurst we are very lucky to have an amazing network of 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 for yourself or a neighbour,
please view the
list of helpers
and we'll see how we can help.
You can easily find volunteers in your area -

Some volunteers have offered to have a chat on the phone,

Events in May
Monday 17th May (at the earliest)
Out of Lockdown - Step 3
Social contact
As part of Step 3, no earlier than 17 May, the government will look to continue easing limits on seeing friends and family wherever possible,
allowing people to decide on the appropriate level of risk for their circumstances.
This means that most legal restrictions on meeting others outdoors will be lifted
- although gatherings of over 30 people will remain illegal.
Indoors, the Rule of 6 or 2 households will apply - the government will keep under review whether it is safe to increase this.
Pubs
Indoor hospitality will reopen - and as in Step 2, venues will not have to serve a substantial meal with alcoholic drinks;
nor will there be a curfew.
Customers will, however, have to order, eat and drink while seated.
Events
Up to 30 people will be able to attend weddings, receptions and wakes, as well as funerals.
Events in June
Monday 21st June 2021 (at the earliest)
Out of Lockdown - Step 4
