Bradwell Great Yarmouth - anyone live here and can help elderly neighbours?

[Overseasmom100]

My mum 80 lives in Bradwell...in a small group of bungalows with mostly elderly people. There are no groups set up to help she is still going to local shops to buy food but not much in. She doesnt have a computer and said there is no help if she needs it. All neighbours are elderly and their families if they have any havent offered help. I live the other side of the country.

Anyone know of any help in the area who I could call to put in touch?

Have you tried the local church?

Try contacting the Clerk to the Parish Council or the Church. They seem to be co ordinating support in our village in another part of Norfolk.

Excellent yes willgive that a go. Even if she has a number to c if she needs help

Ive emailed the parish church in Bradwell

Can you join nextdoor for the area?

May be worth contacting the local council early help services. I work in a different part of Norfolk and I know the local council were coordinating volunteers to support the community.

There is a Facebook group called babeswithbabies norwich. There are thousands of members on there across Norfolk and you might find a volunteer there

Freegle (Freecycle as was) has been offering to put volunteers in touch with people needing help, using their existing network:

And there are clearly Bradwell members on Great Yarmouth Freegle:

If your DM's not online, you might have to join for her and put her postcode in.

Is there a local WI? They might also be able to help. Not all members are over 70!
