Updated Thursday 19th Mar, 22.10
Starting on Thurs 19th March volunteers from Alderton started to hand-deliver over 400 Coronavirus support leaflets to every household in the Parish.

We have 80 volunteers, 50 supporting small groups of residents and a further 30 who are currently held in reserve to help as our communities needs become clearer.
