Dear Mums, Dads and Carers
Kent Together Message:
Kent County Council has launched a new 24 hour helpline called Kent Together to support vulnerable people in Kent who need urgent help, supplies or medication. The helpline will provide a single, convenient point of contact for anyone in the county who is in urgent need of help during the Coronavirus outbreak. It is a collaboration between KCC, central Government, District, Borough and local councils, the voluntary and community sector, the NHS, emergency services and other partners to ensure help is at hand for vulnerable people.
If you are vulnerable and have an urgent need that cannot be met through existing support networks, or are concerned about the welfare of someone else you can contact the Kent Together helpline at www.kent.gov.uk/KentTogether or by calling on 03000 41 92 92.
Another helpline in Kent for individuals who require mental health crisis support. This is available for all ages and is free and confidential. Support can be requested by texting ‘Kent’ to 85258.
These are both 24-hour services.
Kind Regards
Mrs Jacqueline Watson
