Kenilworth support group wants more people to be helped by the services it is providing

The Covid-19 Support Kenilworth group's more than 250 volunteers have delivered more than 1,200 medicine subscriptions and is providing everything from food parcels to entertainment for more than 1,100 elderly and vulnerable residents.

The group's Street Champions, Pharmy Army, Phone Handlers, Call Pals and Food Bank Co-ordinators all guided by a small management team.

Most are working remotely with the support of the Kenilworth Centre as the group's hub.

Management team member Miranda De Freston said: "Many of the volunteers are also working, some even within the NHS, looking after families and juggling through what for many of us is a challenging time.

"The spirit and dedication of the group is amazing. It's incredible what can be done when people pull together.

"The community spirit in Kenilworth is one to admire.

The group wants no one to be suffering in silence, so they are calling out to anyone who needs help; be it for a relative that may be living in Kenilworth or, for yourselves.

"Don't suffer in silence, the group now has the tools and networks in place to help.

"If you are isolated and lonely call us, if you are financially struggling and need food or other support call us, if you find yourself not able to cope call us.

"All calls are handled professionally and confidentially by the team.

"However long the road is, the Covid-19 Support Kenilworth group will be in place to help.

"The group wants to thank those who are volunteering, supporting and have made donations towards its efforts."
