CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
Being a good neighbour is a way of making a real difference right where you live. Assuming you’re fit and well, and take sensible precautions, here are some of the things you can do…
Check on them, especially anyone who may live alone (regardless of their age), anyone elderly or anyone that may be potentially vulnerable. If someone is self-isolating or unable to get out for whatever reason, you could help by doing practical yet vital tasks such as:
- Collecting a prescription or over the counter medications
- Doing some basic grocery shopping.
- If you are making a meal offer to make a portion for someone who may not be feeling able to cook for themselves.
- Take their bins out on bin day.
- Offer to exercise their dog if they have one and are not able to do this themselves.
- It is often the little acts of kindness that have the most impact. This is now the time to reach out to neighbours and let them
know that you can help
Keep up to date with ways you can help with our dedicated Facebook group, Newhaven on Forth (incl Covid-19 Response Group).
To Newhaveners of old, looking out for each other was second nature. In this hectic and fragmented world we now live in, it is so necessary to re-engage with your neighbours. If anything good is to come out of this horrendous pandemic, perhaps a shift from the ‘me’ society back to a more ‘we’ society will become the new norm..
The world has never seen anything like the current Coronavirus crisis before. Even in wartime, people were able to get comfort and support through socialising. But in the attempt to limit or slow the spread of COVID19, many people are excluding themselves from society with all the issues of isolation that ensues.
