WHAT IS BRADNINCH TOGETHER?
With coronavirus (COVID-19) still disrupting everyday life for many of us, the local community is more important than ever. Our core offer is to ensure that everybody in Bradninch and Hele, regardless of circumstances can get practical help from a neighbour. We also want to provide the community with a central point of information, in the form of this website, about sources of support and local initiatives. You can also visit the Bradninch Together Facebook page.
Bradninch Together believes that a child, young person, vulnerable person or old person should never experience abuse of any kind. We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all people within the Bradninch Community and to keep them safe.

HOW CAN I ACCESS PRACTICAL SUPPORT FROM BRADNINCH TOGETHER?
There is a network of volunteers across our community and the sorts of things we can help with include shopping, collecting medication and dog walking, as well as a friendly phone call. Click here to contact your Zone
Co-ordinator. They will put you in touch with someone who can help. The health and safety of everyone is paramount. Please note that anybody visiting your home as part of Bradninch Together will arrange the visit in advance and will carry ID.
Volunteers will not come into your home when visiting. Please let us know when calling if you or anybody in your household is suffering from Covid-19 so that arrangements can be made to minimise risk.
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED WITH VOLUNTEERING?
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact either your
Zone Coordinator or the Steering Group. The Steering Group is also happy to receive general ideas or comments, though please see below about how to contribute to the website.
