Can you spare an hour a week to help an elderly person in your local area?
Reach Out is looking for people in Hertfordshire who can spare an hour a week to help an elderly person in their local area who is home from hospital and feeling lonely and isolated.
Reach Out offers companionship and practical support to people as they recover and rebuild their confidence. Many elderly people really appreciate someone popping in for a cuppa and a chat, or helping them by collecting small items of shopping for them.
Autumn can be a difficult time for older people who are living with frailty and are still recovering from a hospital stay. As the nights are getting longer and the cold weather is setting in, social isolation can have a huge impact.
Reach Out Volunteers can help people to feel connected to their community, whilst offering vital support and encouragement to them as they recover.
Just giving a small amount of your time can make a huge difference. You can register your interest here https://forms.gle/yoTd2kgvdqweXccd7 Find out more here https://www.reachout-project.org.uk/ or contact Reach Out via email at reachout@nhcvs.org.uk or by calling 01462 689403.

EASTWICK AND GILSTON PARISH COUNCIL
PARISH COUNCILLOR VACANCIES
After the May Parish Council elections we now have two vacancies for Parish Councillors within the Parish Council.
Parish Councillor’s and the Parish Council have the responsibility of representing the views of local residents on matters such as planning applications, management of local services and the local environment. In addition to the routine, we also face a number of challenges with the continuing issue of proposed house building in our villages that will impact our Parish as a whole.
To qualify to be a Parish Councillor the rules say: Subject therefore to the rules on disqualification a person is qualified it they are a Commonwealth citizen (which includes a British subject), are over 18 and are an elector. In addition, they will be qualified if they have either during the whole of the twelve months before the day on which they are nominated as a candidate, or the day of the election, resided in the locality or within three miles if it or occupied as owner or tenant any land or premises in the locality or had their principal or only place of work there. Such work need not be paid, but must be substantial; it may even include duties which the candidate was elected to perform before the election by the very same council as that to which they are now seeking election. We are able to co-opt two residents for the vacant Parish Council seats and if you are interested in finding out about the role of Parish Councillor please contact Christine Law, Parish Clerk on 01279 411646 or email: Christine.law2@btinternet.com for an informal discussion.
