Wadebridge Town Council Social Emergency Fund

NHS VOLUNTEER RESPONDERS -
click on the link below to find out more information.

NHS Volunteer Responders has been set up to support the NHS during the COVID-19 outbreak. To do this we need an 'army' of volunteers who can support the 1.5m people in England who are at most risk from the virus to stay well. Our doctors, nurses and other professionals will be able to refer people in to NHS Volunteer Responders and be confident that they have been matched with a reliable, named volunteer.

You can help by signing up for one or more of the tasks listed below. Once you have registered and checks are complete you will be provided a log-in to the GoodSAM Responder app. Switch the app to 'on duty', and you'll see live and local volunteer tasks to pick from nearby.

This programme enables volunteers to provide care or to help a vulnerable person, which is permitted under the new rules announced by the Government on 23rd March 2020. Volunteers may be asked to show the active task they are responding to if asked.

Wadebridge Town Council is CLOSED 

Wadebridge Town Council and all its buildings are now closed until further notice following recent Government advice.  Any staff who are attending work today are in for a short time to pick up items to allow them to work from home and to carry out any final emergency tasks.  This decision has been taken following the announcement made yesterday evening by the Government.  Council staff are aware of their responsibilities in the current climate and the need to stay home and to stay safe.  Staff are now working from home and any essential tasks will be addressed as and when required.  

The Skatepark and play areas are closed and should not be accessed.   Please be responsible for your own and others safety and stay away.  Keep your distance and have care for everyone.   

If you need to contact the Town Council, please either email or leave a phone message on the details below.  We will get back to you as soon as we are able.  Please contact us if you are concerned about anything and we can put you in touch with any support you need.  No-one should feel worried about being on their own as our Community will support you.

The Council wish everyone the strength and positivity to deal with the changes made to our lives at present.  When the sun is shining (at last) is seems difficult to be asked to stay at home and not enjoy our wonderful town and surrounding areas.  However, if we all change our ways for a short time we will be back to normal as quickly as possible, with lives saved and our NHS able to cope with Coronavirus.  

Stay well, stay safe and stay home.

 All Wadebridge Town Council play areas are CLOSED until further notice

The Town Council is following Government advise and discouraging public gatherings and encouraging social distancing in trying to help our NHS and stop the spread of Coronavirus.

No-one can control what others touch in a play area and it is challenging to prevent children from touching their faces after using play equipment. It is also extremely difficult in a play area to keep children a safe distance apart. The Town Council do not wish anyone to take be at risk in their Play Areas and as a result these are now closed.

Please behave responsibly in the face of Coronavirus. If not our choice to behave responsibly will be taken from us and decisions made for us.

We only get one chance at being responsible and making sure Coronavirus doesn’t spread and cause untold damage to our lives, our families, our friends and the NHS. This is not a trial run.

Let’s work together to live together.

Thank you Wadebridge - stay safe everyone
