The plan is for Life Groups to provide the main focus for supporting one another through this difficult time, but situations may arise that are outside the ability of Life Groups to cover alone. To that end we are looking to set up a pool of volunteers (the SWAT team) who are able to provide help as and when needed. This could be at different levels, such as:

• Phoning those who are self-isolating (the ‘SI’s), due to illness or vulnerability, to have a chat and checking that they are OK.
• Cooking a meal for SI’s and delivering it (could be delivered by someone else). This should be a ‘last resort’ option.
• Collecting prescriptions for SI’s.
• Doing shopping for SI’s.

Becs Armstrong and Alastair Gibson have agreed to be the point of contact for the SWAT team so please could you email or phone them to let them know if you would like to be part of the team – indicating the sort of support you would be able to provide. Contact details are as follows:
