Parwich Helpers – A Thank You

Thursday January 7, 2021 by Steve J

As we enter a further lockdown only days into the New Year, Parwich .org has reminded us constantly of those who have volunteered to shop, collect medicines and run errands for our community, all so willingly undertaken.

As well as Lucy, Lucy, Cheryl, Rosie, Karen and Liz there are the nameless Parwich Helpers.

So with weeks more of lockdown and restrictions, thank all of you for your selflessness and generosity, even putting yourselves at risk from this wretched Covid. Huge thanks from Lynette and me and I am sure many others who will want to add their names.

Hen Lockdown

Tuesday January 5, 2021 by Fiona H

Seeing the advert for a cockerel has prompted me to let people know that it is a difficult time for poultry keepers. For anyone unfamiliar with keeping poultry, since 14 Dec 2020 all poultry and other captive birds have had to be separated from wild birds by being housed or totally enclosed in netted pens. Birds cannot free range. This is due to avian flu within the UK and applies whether you keep one bird or thousands. Further information and updates on locations of disease outbreaks can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/avian-influenza-bird-flu

First Responders

Monday January 4, 2021 by Fiona H

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE PARWICH FIRST RESPONDERS

The Parwich First Responders held their AGM by Zoom on 8 December 2020.

4 responders that are not shielding have been carrying on providing a response services to Parwich and the surrounding area during this awful pandemic.

The First Responders have had a request from the ‘Call to Arms’ to support the roll out of vaccinations across Derbyshire. This is a huge task that the NHS is facing and the responders are very willing to provide support where they can. Some of the responders have already provided a support role at Bakewell Hospital where rollout of the vaccine started the week before Christmas and is continuing throughout January. Rollout of the vaccine is starting on the 7th January 2021 at St Oswald’s and again some of the Parwich Responders will be providing support to the clinics there this week.

Responders will continue to carry out the First Responding Role in Parwich as well as the support to the Call to Arms.

Funding is still an issue for the First Responders. They rely on donations to keep equipment going such as batteries etc for defibrillators. Last year this came at a cost of nearly £400. If anyone has any ideas about fund raising in these challenging times we would be delighted to hear about them.

We are always looking for more people to join the existing small team (7). This pandemic has highlighted what an important role the First Responders play. Full training to become a First Responder is provided and the time commitment is determined by individuals. You offer as much or as little of your time as you want. If anyone would like more information about becoming a First Responder please contact Sue Hughes 390334.

We wish you a Happy New Year and hopefully it will not be long before we all start to resume some sort of normality.

Stay safe.

Parwich First Responders

Thank you Santa

Monday December 21, 2020 by Lucy M

Richard T has sent us a video of Santa on his trip around the village yesterday.

On behalf of the people of Parwich I would like to thank Santa and his extra special elves, Andrew, Jackie, Alan and Liz for making it happen. I feel it could become a new tradition?!

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped out with the Elf Trail it was very popular and I’ve received some great feedback so thank you again for all the hard work you put in.

Finally on behalf of the Carnival and Recreation Committee I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

For those struggling to see the video, here are two more photos with thanks to Nina M:

Carols on your doorstep?!

Wednesday December 16, 2020 by Emma S

Carols on your doorstep !

Listening to radio 4 this afternoon I heard that some places have arranged to sing carols on their doorsteps as a community. Some have been doing this every Thursday in December but I wondered if people showed an interest we could decide on one date together? Just a few socially distanced carols on our own doorsteps  to cheer us all up. What are peoples thoughts?

You can walk straight from West View across in front of the Church to Church Cottage. If you are unsure just message me (lucywigley@googlemail.com).

Parwich Welfare Fund – can you help?

Monday December 14, 2020 by Emma S

Parwich welfare fund is planning to make a recipe booklet to raise money for our village fund. Money raised will go towards helping people from our village who are in need, this could be anything from buying logs for someone or just a bunch of flowers when someone is poorly or feeling low.

In due course we will be asking village residents for their favourite tried and tested recipes! For now we are looking for a cost effective way to have the books printed as we need to make as much money for the fund as possible ( we will be selling them for approximately £5 each). It could be a stapled booklet or ring bound format, approx. 50 pages with a small image per recipe. If anyone has any contacts or knows of a reasonable printer then we would really appreciate your help. We have already tried instaprint on line, Derby university and Ashbourne business centre.

If you can help, please contact Lucy Burlinson at tigercheeks@hotmail.co.uk or 390 112.

Thank you 😊
