As the Government’s message to older and vulnerable people to self-isolate to protect themselves from the spread of the Coronavirus takes effect, Norfolk County Council and North Norfolk District Council have written to residents in our area with details of helplines they can contact if they need assistance in the coming weeks with shopping, accessing personal items or prescriptions or other non-emergency support.

In order to fulfil requests for assistance, North Norfolk District Council has developed a hub and bespoke support model throughout our area, with a physical co-ordination presence at ten Local Co-ordination Centres, including a centre based at Stalham Sports Centre (please note that these centres will not be open to the public, and should only be accessed by community volunteers). For further details of this project, please visit NNDC’s website.

North Norfolk residents in need of support, either now or in the coming weeks, can request assistance through the Norfolk helpline (0344 8008020) or the North Norfolk helpline (01263 516000)
