The Parish Council is taking an overview of the parish response to the coronavirus outbreak.

We want to ensure that members of the parish and visitors receive the most effective information and support to stay healthy, and are able to access the support they require.

We cannot offer medical advice or assistance.

Volunteers

Dartmouth Caring is co-ordinating volunteers to deliver two essential services during the COVID-19 outbreak, specifically:

  1. food shopping and/or prescription collection and delivery for those unable to do so themselves (e.g. due to self-isolating)
  2. telephone befriending, to help those struggling with a lack of social contact.
