Working together to support Hurst
In Hurst we are very lucky to have an amazing network of over

available to offer help should you need it for shopping, collecting
medications or just someone to have a chat with during these difficult times.
If you would like to speak to us, or want to ask for help for yourself or a neighbour,
please view the
list of helpers
and we’ll see how we can help.
You can easily find volunteers in your area -
just select your road
or

Some volunteers have offered to have a chat on the phone,
some have offered to collect any medication and some to shop.
If the volunteer cannot help directly,
they can contact another volunteer for you.
