What is Talk Community?
Herefordshire Council Talk Community COVID-19 response team has been set up to provide help and support where it’s most needed in Herefordshire, to identify and support the most vulnerable residents in the county. 

The response team is made up from volunteers based around the county so they can reach people no matter where they are located, or how isolated their location.

This is a worrying and challenging time for many, so in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 they are working with community organisations and local businesses to help connect people to support in their local area.

They will continue to provide reassurance and support over the coming weeks, helping you to live well in your own home for as long as is needed.

If you are worried about how you might cope in the coming weeks, have gaps in your support plan or need extra assistance, then the Talk Community’ COVID-19 response team can help you.
