Contact our Community Hub if you cannot leave the house and need help

RBG’s Community Hub is here if you are self-isolating and have not got a family member, friend or neighbour who can help. Our volunteers can provide support with collecting and delivering prescriptions, delivering essential food packages and connecting you to local community services.

We are open seven days a week, 8.30am to 6pm.
