Help Your Neighbours

How you can help vulnerable neighbours?

1. Visit those in your communities you think may need help - even if you don’t know them. Please don’t assume someone else has done so, it’s better they get many visits than none.

2. Make elderly and vulnerable neighbours aware of the county council support line 0845 050 7666. This telephone number is not to be used instead of 999 for emergencies or for transport-related issues.  You can also email at:

access@oxfordshire.gov.uk

3. If you think people need specific help with heating, food or medical issues, please contact the county council, as above, and let us know.

4. Sometimes just a simple phone call can do a lot to reassure people who may be anxious and depressed.
