Coping with coronavirus

Visit the official Government website for the latest general information - https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-government-response . Be guided only by that website - it is the only source of authoritative information. Don't be fooled by deliberate misinformation or "fake news"!

If you wish to volunteer to help, contact the Havering Volunteer Centre, who are conducting the appropriate safeguarding requirements.

Please contact them on 01708 922214 or email volunteering@haveringvc.org.uk, and they will do the rest.

Havering Council has a free-to-call helpline for residents with urgent needs because of coronavirus - 0800 368 5201. You can call between 8.30am and 6pm on weekdays and between 11am and 4pm at the weekend.
