Neath Port Talbot: Coronavirus local support
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Neath Port Talbot Council has established a new service to support vulnerable residents who do not receive help from family, friends or neighbours. The 'Safe and Well' service will arrange for a trusted volunteer to help with daily living tasks such as food shopping, collecting medical supplies, posting mail and any other reasonable tasks.
