Please do not bring donations to the Grant Arms as we don't have anywhere to store them.
At the moment we have plenty of volunteers and donations at the Grant Arms, until people tell us what they need. Keep an eye on here as we'll let you know when we need help again, thank you.
It is now a waiting game. If you need help PLEASE CALL US:
We have 2 x Submersible pumps that can clear water in a matter of a couple of hours BUT they need power! So if anybody needs their cellar clearing and they have power in the house let us know on the contact numbers ASAP
Please do not contact Tesco or Morrisons regarding freebies for flood victims. They are already doing a great job donating directly to the effort. Thank you!
If you have flooded and are going to be dealing with insurance companies, there are a few things that residents in have Cumbria have learned.
1. You can choose your own contractors to do the work. According to feedback from residents, people who used local firms rather than firms suggested by insurers got back in quicker and had a less stressful experience overall.
2. They'll say this won't happen again. It might not, but then it might. There's a special kind of plaster that can be used that will dry out quicker if it does flood again, be sure to ask about it.
If you need Re-homing or respite care for disability in the area, you may contact Elaine on 07860 601687 - She has a direct contact number for Social Services.
