Emergency Help Service

Cumbria County Council and partners have launched a new emergency support service for people at high risk of becoming seriously ill as a result of COVID-19 and who do not have support available from friends, family or neighbours. People with no wider support network. The helpline can be accessed on 0800 783 1966 or via email on   COVID19support@cumbria.gov.uk. Details can be found online at Cumbria.gov.uk.  This new support service has been set up by Cumbria County Council and partners as a result of close partnership working with District Councils, CVS, Cumbria Community Foundation, community and voluntary sector, and private sector. This service provides a vital link between people at risk, and those who are able to help them.
