I write to tell you about the Mabe Emergency Group which has been set up to support the members of Mabe Civil Parish during this difficult time. We are a small committee of people from Mabe parish council, St Laudus Church Mabe and MYCP and in contact with Volunteer Cornwall and Penryn Foodbank. This group is for volunteers, people in need and anyone in Mabe during this difficult time.

The situation is of course developing all the time. At the moment the group is supporting a number of people with things like picking up shopping and delivery of take-away meals for people who are shielding / self-isolating.

We are also shortly going to be able to take referrals for the Penryn Food bank.

You can help, please, by:

Volunteering with the Mabe Emergency group (to help deliver shopping etc)

Referring anyone you know of (with their permission) for food bank or other help.

Donating to the food bank either financially or in terms of food. Please leave food donations at the vicarage and we shall arrange for it to be taken to the food bank. To make a monetary donation please use the food bank web page https://penrynfalmouth.foodbank.org.uk

And please go on praying for the sick, for those caring for them and their families; pray for all key workers and all who are volunteering in any way.

Thank you and God bless you!
