COVID-19 welfare support
The Council’s Civil Defence and Emergency Management Welfare Team is supporting Marlborough’s response to COVID-19. The Team is available to assist people who need help with shopping and are unable to shop themselves. For example those who are:
● In self-isolation and can’t get to the shops
● Unable to access online shopping
● Don’t have anyone they can ask to help
The Team is also helping people to find emergency accommodation.
If you or someone you know needs extra help or advice please phone 03 520 7400 and ask for the Welfare Team or email welfare@marlboroughcdem.co.nz

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
