In light t of the Isle of Government’s announcements on Tuesday 5th January 2020, Arbory and Rushen Connect will be reactivating their support network for parishioners.
A 21 day circuit breaker lockdown has been announced.
This commences from 1 minute past midnight on Thursday 7th January 2021.
If you need assistance with shopping or other errands, please email clerk@rushen.gov.im as the ideal contact method.
Otherwise message Facebook messenger or phone 834501.
This phone will not be answered immediately so please leave a clear message.
Similarly, if you would like to be a volunteer and can safely offer assistance, please contact as above.
If you simply want a chat to break the monotony of isolation, please call Jane on 835013 or 492010.
We have survived this before and by working together will do again.
