If you want to volunteer to help your community register your interest here.

Northumberland County Council is launching a new initiative to support the phenomenal volunteering networks that have been rallying support across the county in response to COVID-19.
The council is launching ‘Northumberland Communities Together’ – a dedicated team which will help harness the power of local community volunteers while making sure the county’s most vulnerable residents are protected.

County Cllrs update 25/3/20

We continue to work closely with PTC and the Covid 19 Prudhoe group and also other County Cllrs in the Tynedale area.

Please remember the Covid group are made up of local volunteers, and should only be used when there is no other support available.

A special mention today to everyone who is still working hard supporting the public be it from home or still in their normal places of work, NHS. Schools, Carers, Emergency services, utility providers, Production in factories etc, cleaners. Transport workers, Royal mail / post office teams and the people who are providing such great services in our shops making food and goods available for us all.

And of course NCC teams who continue to do such a great job.

We know it is not easy.

We are concerned about the many people who have lost their jobs suddenly and are struggling, we hope the support being provided will assist.

We are in contact with the DWP looking at opportunities for employment.

We are still receiving a very large number of calls and e mails and we are still responding to them quickly.

We also welcome regular contact from businesses, Schools, Churches, Police and other parts of the great Prudhoe community.

We are here to support  everyone everyday of the year – If you have a question suggestion or just want to chat please get in touch – CLICK HERE

(We never enter into conversation or take reports via social media).

Thank you.
