I need support - what should I do?

Provision of support for people at home is being rapidly expanded.  In the first instance it is easiest if you can help yourself.  People in North Somerset have risen to the challenge with support networks across the constituency.  Thousands of people are waiting to help with shopping or phone calls.  To avoid overwhelming these groups, in the first instance do call friends or neighbours and ask if they can help you
