Home Delivery to the Extremely Vulnerable

Holwood Farm Helping Hand

We are working with a group of volunteers who will take "Click and Collect" orders and deliver them to your home.   To qualify you must be in one of the following categories:

  • Elderly, i.e. over 70
  • Extremely vulnerable GOV.UK-Guidance
  • Isolating because someone in the household has or is suspected of having COVID-19.
  • NHS Workers unable to access other services.  

To apply please contact our volunteers on helpinghand@holwoodfarm.co.uk giving; your name, full address including postcode, contact number and brief reason for qualification. Once accepted onto the programme we will send you an email confirmation. Orders should be placed via the regular "Click and Collect" mechanism, the volunteers will be notified of your order and will arrange for it to be collected from the farmshop and delivered to your home, they will contact you directly to confirm delivery times.

There is no charge for this service, however we would ask if you are able to make a contribution of £3 which will help to cover the volunteers fuel and insurance costs.
