Ms Webb said: “I think the supermarkets have got their act together a lot more this time, and they’re catering a lot more for home deliveries, so that side of things is not so much of a worry, but we’re obviously concerned about loneliness. We are there to help.”
In addition to Dereham Cares, the Wellspring Church are continuing to operate their emergency response service - offering the same help with errands and phone calls to the isolated.
Church leader Jon Beardon said: “Please, if you don’t know where else to turn, you can certainly give us a call and we’ll do what we can to help you.
