We are all concerned about the vulnerable in our society and want to support them, many local community help groups have been set up around the Country and we have one right here in Prudhoe – CLICK HERE
There are of course many people who are not online or on social media and it is vital that they are supported.
Please remember there are many professional support groups out there as well as volunteer led organisations, if you hear of someone who has slipped through the net, please do not ignore it.
We are already seeing Fake news & abuse being pushed out on social media which is very unhelpful and for many unpleasant even if not directed towards them.
Many people are suffering from stress at the moment as they constantly read or hear about the virus, please think of them when you post.
Yes it is a huge news story but everyday please post something on your social media which is funny or even mundane to lighten the mood of so many people.
As many will realise we post on social media everyday of the year and this will continue.
Local business & community groups can use our facebook page PrudhoeNland to help them provide information, just post as much and often as you like CLICK HERE
Remember Prudhoe is possibly the friendliest town and has a great community spirit.
