Keep up to date with the latest information on Coronavirus

Please contact us if you need to. This page will be added to regularly.

Remember we are still here and can be contacted by phone, text, email and through the website.

We are sharing the latest information on when and where we have been asked to wear face masks, and advice for those of us who are exempt.

You can find out about this on our face masks information page through this link.

If you are a resident in Greater Manchester and have been affected by Covid 19, you can ask for support from your Local Authority.

Every area has its own Community Hub and dedicated number or contact.

We know that phonelines and online forms are a barrier to some of us, so we’re now operating a text service for the Community Hubs.

Texts will be answered in one working day.

Text: 07860022876.
