Your neighbours can help
Hey all.
With the increased travel restrictions and isolation becoming more prevalent, please, if anyone needs anything from items delivered or stuff picked up, speak up. Those in our little community will look out for each other. I'm more than happy to help if anyone needs anything. Likewise I'm sure others will too. Please dont be concerned about running out of stuff or being isolated for 14 days. There are lots of us around who can help. Just message for assistance or speak up. Call me on 0220 166 828 if you need anything.
Let's look out for our neighbours, the elderly and those who might need a friend. ❤ #keepcalmandcarryontekowhai
