Harleston's Kindness Help Hub, the local coronavirus community assistance scheme, was set up by local people to help the community in Harleston and nearby through this very difficult time.  The scheme is supported by both South Norfolk Council and Redenhall with Harleston Town Council who are fully committed to support and help with the scheme.

The scheme will coordinate volunteers and arrange for the delivery of food and medical supplies to local residents who have no other means of support such as non-isolating family or friends or other support groups.  The scheme can be contacted via its website or Facebook page or on the numbers given below.
