Please see below a letter from the Practice Manager – Vicki Abbott at Uppingham Surgery.
“Dear Volunteer,
Volunteer drivers required
We would firstly like to thank you for your support and dedication to both the practice and our patients over the last 4 months during these unprecedented times.
We recognise as a practice that there is a real need to support our more vulnerable or those with increased needs in our community and that this must continue regardless of when lockdown eases across the nation.
With this in mind, the practice has taken the steps to purchase a vehicle to operate a weekly prescription delivery service. We are seeking volunteer drivers to help us with providing this service. We are ideally looking for 1 day a week (11am – 3pm) from individuals with designated areas to deliver to.
If this is something you would be interested in doing please let us know.
Once again thank you for volunteering your time, it is has been invaluable to us all.
With thanks,
Yours faithfully,
Vicki Abbott
Practice Manager”
It would be good if you could let us know as soon as possible if any of you are interested, or if you are planning on ceasing your current schemes.

Oakham Foodbank have been delighted with the number of items that have been donated during lockdown and have asked if people can continue to be generous to help them support the 550 households already in receipt of assistance. In addition, it is thought that the number of households to be supported will increase in the next few weeks as the furlough scheme comes to an end and sadly some businesses make redundancies.
We will have our next collection from the Church porch on 15th July and the next one after that will be on 29th July.
Items that are desperately needed are:
We are told that the warehouse is well stocked with baked beans, pasta and cereal so, if you are able to give, please choose items off the list above.
Many thanks,
Debra Thatcher
