Barnstaple - community support
General help
North Devon Liberal Democrats
Please call our dedicated Covid-19 Hotline number: 07900 852841
Your local Councillor or other active ward representative will get in touch with you and aim to give you the support you need, even if it’s just for a chat.
One Barnstaple
One Barnstaple is working in partnership with local statutory, voluntary and community services, community groups and residents to help coordinate the support needed in our local area during this current Covid-19 situation.
They are working with the existing community Facebook support groups to assist them in coordinating volunteers.
If you would like to offer your time as a volunteer please sign up using this form.
Barnstaple Coronavirus Support Network Facebook Group
"This group is available for the residents of Barnstaple to reach out to each other for support during the Coronavirus outbreak. We currently have approximately 100 volunteers across the whole of Barnstaple, supporting those individuals and families in isolation. Within this group there will be friends, family, neighbours who might need a little more support; emotionally, or if they are needing to self-isolate.
Within this group you can give your services to others who need help, in the form of: collecting shopping; collecting prescriptions; urgent supplies; or even by having a friendly, welcome phone call to someone in isolation. Or if you are in isolation, you can post onto the group to find support from a neighbour.
This group is working alongside the Barnstaple Town Council and One Barnstaple to ensure support is provided to every individual resident of Barnstaple.
BCSN is continuing to grow rapidly because of the support and kindness shown by all of its members. Come and join us!"
Age Concern
New home visit assessments are currently paused, however phone enquiries are welcome. Current volunteers are continuing to assist within government guidelines. New referrals and enquiries are asked to make contact by phone or email. Phone 01271 324488 or email info@ageconcernbarnstaple.org.uk during office hours: Mon - Thurs 9.30am to 4pm, or Fri 9.30am to 1pm. Please note the office is not currently open to the public.
Save Westacott Park
Unofficial group where individual aid is being offered between residents nearby. See the Save Westacott Park Facebook page for more information.
Live at Home Scheme
Scheme to help prevent isolation and loneliness. Members can access the services in the Barnstaple area as you can see in the attached leaflet. At the minute all groups have been suspended apart from the telephone befriending service. This enables them to keep in contact with members and perhaps organise someone to do shopping etc at this time if they have no one else. If anyone could benefit from this service they can sign up as members over the phone and be added to the telephone befriending list. Please note that the office is open Tuesday to Friday.
