Hilltop Villages Community Volunteers
The Hiltop Villages Community Volunteers were formed by the Parish Council, Hilltop Churches Church Group, and Good Neighbours Group have come together to provide support for anyone in our community who has to isolate themselves due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
How It Works
You can call we can help you by asking a volunteer who will be able to:
* do shopping at a local supermarket and deliver to your door, or
* collect a shopping order made with the Wiggington Shop , or
* collect prescription medicines from any local pharmacy or surgery
* have a chat on a regular basis over the telephone.
We will do our best to help with other essential errands you cannot undertake because you are unable to leave your home and get around as usual. Just ask!
We will always let you know the name of the volunteer and ask them to get in touch by phone. *See Please be assured below.
You can get in touch any day of the week by calling: 0845 8 735 737 or

Further Information
Following on from a leaflet delivered to all residents, through their door around 26th March, a Newsletter updating residents on the support available from volunteers and other useful information was also distributed to all residents around 12 April and can be downloaded. This Newsletter can be found here.
Please be assured:
*To protect against unsolicited callers, a volunteer’s name will be advised to you in advance, and they will not turn up unannounced.
* Volunteers will follow current health guidance about hygiene measures, avoiding close contact and transmission of the virus, and will provide till receipts for payments which can be settled ideally by cheque.
As the situation develops we aim to add more information about the support here, and get this new information out to the community by other means.
