The covid-19 emergency has had many negative effects, and steps to tackle the spread of the disease has taken sacrifices from us all, with the restrictions on what we can and cannot do on a daily basis.

For some, the restrictions, and especially the national lockdown starting in March of this year, were particularly difficult to cope with. Many people could not shop for their groceries, or collect their medicine. This is where volunteers, local businesses and the local community as a whole stepped in and helped.

Ludgvan parish councillors have been so impressed by the support and community spirit during this time, that they would like to say ‘thank you!’ to anyone who helped in any way. It is by pulling together in this way, across the parish, that has helped the community to stay strong.
