Each local authority (council) has established a Community Response Forum to coordinate COVID-19 related community supports.

As part of this, each local authority has established a helpline that vulnerable people can phone if they are looking for basic services such as delivery of food or meals, or transport for essential trips.

Here is a list of each local authority’s helpline phone numbers.

For more information on your the COVID-19 Community Fora, including contact information for your local forum, and for advice on giving support and receiving support, you can read this leaflet.

Your COVID-19 Community Call Forum is working hard seven days a week to answer your calls and provide help to those who need it and those looking for guidance.

To find out about your local Forum and the work that the Fora are doing, both nationally and in your area, visit this data hub. The data is updated daily.

ALONE, the national charity for older people, is partnering each Covid-19 Community Response Forum. If you need to talk or are looking for emotional support, you can call them on 0818 222 024 or your call can be directed from your local Covid-19 Community Response Forum helpline.

You can also contact ALONE if you are experiencing difficulties with physical and mental health, finance, housing, loneliness and other challenges.
