Parish Update

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest leaflet from your Parish Council.
We know we are facing unprecedented challenges right now and that’s why we want to share with you some of the efforts being made to support you.
We have already seen our community coming together stronger than ever before with the Parish Council, Village Hall Committee, the Village Fund and All Saints’ Church joining forces to coordinate essential local support for you over coming months and through the Coronavirus Pandemic. These voluntary efforts can take pressure off our stretched essential services and help vulnerable and isolated people feel they have somewhere to turn if needed.
Above all, our health is the most important thing we own which is why I encourage everyone to follow Government advice on social distancing and preventative health measures. This will help our essential services cope with those who need special care and treatment when necessary.
Working together and being ‘good neighbours’ I feel confident we can get through this and feel a much stronger community as a result.
Best wishes and take care.
Jon, Parish Council Chairman

Exhibition: Luddington Lockdown & Rainbows

Luddington Village Tree

As we are all forced to stay home by the coronavirus lockdown many have been doing their best to lighten the mood. Windows, walls, gardens and even the Oak tree on the village green have been adorned with rainbows, ribbons and messages of support for all the marvellous key workers carrying out their vital work.
We would like to capture your own lockdown experience in an online community exhibition on www.luddington.org and later hold an event
(when permissible) in the village hall, which the All Saints’ Arms team have kindly offered to support.
We would love to see/hear what everyone is up to. Whether it is painting, drawing, video, photography, gardening, flower arranging, sewing, knitting, learning an instrument or renovating a car, its open to all ages – for professionals and non professionals alike.
See the village website www.luddington.org of how to submit entries or email luddingtonvh@gmail.com for details.
Also, while you are out on your walk why not add a ribbon or pom-pom to the tree on the green – let’s raise a smile for Easter.

All Saints’ Luddington

The All Saints’ Team is sorry that the church has had to be closed during this time. We would like to offer phone contact support to anyone who needs it at this challenging time. Would you like to be part of a pastoral contact group whilst in lockdown or self-isolation and receive a weekly call, or support when you cannot get out, or when others cannot give their regular support?
Please call 01789 632811 and leave your name and a telephone number. Someone from the parish church will call you back to give you further information. This is a support service offered to everyone in the parish.
