How to register yourself or someone else as an extremely vulnerable person.
Note: you can now get an isolation note by email to provide evidence to your employer that you are self-isolating via NHS 111.
Congleton Town Council have set up a helpline for local residents who do not have access to the internet. It is for anyone not online and who needs to pick up the phone and hear a friendly voice. Call handlers have been trained in safeguarding and there is a system in place for logging requests for shopping and deliveries and matching them with volunteers that can help. All key community groups and centres are involved. Call handlers can provide contact/support lines for any type of social crisis, family care, carers, virtual church services and bereavement services. Call 01260 541815

There is help available in your local community. Please contact someone local if you need help because you are self-isolating, in quarantine, or feel ill and have nobody to help – see below.

- you could sign up as a Red Cross community reserve volunteer or as an NHS volunteer responder
