Earlier in the year Hindolveston Parish Council was successful in a bid to Norfolk Community Foundation and received a grant of £1,000 to support residents during the Covid-19 pandemic. £280 has already been distributed to families in need.
Although the lockdown is lifting and life is beginning to return to a ‘new normal’, the Parish Council is concerned that there will be some people and families who will be experiencing financial difficulties as a fallout from the pandemic. It has therefore been decided to invite residents who are in need, hardship or distress to apply for a grant (which will be distributed in supermarket vouchers for buying food).
If you are in need or experiencing hardship as a result of the pandemic, please do consider applying for a Covid-19 Hardship Grant from the Parish Council. (Your application will be considered by a working group of parish councillors in private, supported by the Clerk and will remain confidential.)
Please do contact the Parish Clerk, Joanna Otte on 01328 822366 or email hindolvestonpc@googlemail.com to receive an application form for a Covid-19 Hardship Grant.
You might also be eligible for help from the local Food Bank. Important – the Food Bank works using a voucher referral system. In order to get help from the Food Bank you will need a voucher issued by local agencies.
