Can you help the East Farndon Parish Council?

Occasionally, the Parish Council needs help with projects in the community and is looking for volunteers. We know there is a lot of knowledge, skill and expertise in the village, and the Parish Council would love to use East Farndon’s talent to improve its work.

Additionally, the Parish Council is updating its Emergency Plan, which covers extreme circumstances that may prevent the emergency services from immediately reaching the scene of an emergency in the parish, e.g. heavy snowfall, flooding, fire, serious road collision. In such cases the initial response may rely on the residents of the Parish. The Emergency Plan sets out how an initial response will be co-ordinated by the Parish Council. As part of this work, West Northamptonshire Council are advising Parish Councils to have a list of people who would be willing to assist in an emergency; whether they have any medical training; and whether they have any vehicles or equipment that could be useful, e.g. tractors, trailers, 4×4 vehicles.

If you are willing to assist the Parish Council, either generally and/or as an emergency volunteer, can you please email the Parish Clerk, Caroline Burton at: clerk@eastfarndon-pc.gov.uk providing the following information:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Contact telephone number
  • Email address
  • Confirmation of whether you are willing to be a general volunteer, and if so, whether you have any specific knowledge, skills or interests
  • Confirmation of whether you are willing to be an emergency volunteer, and if so, whether you have any medical training and/or useful vehicles

Please note that by providing this information, you are consenting for the information provided to be held by East Farndon Parish Council on computer or other relevant filing systems and to be processed for the reason that the information has been provided.

East Farndon WhatsApp Group

Sam Beesley has set up an East Farndon WhatsApp group called “Fabulously Fantastic Farndon”. This was set up originally to support the 12 Days of Christmas event that took place last year, but it has developed into a quick and useful way to update residents on events etc. It is a completely personal and private group and not linked to any formal East Farndon organisation. If you would like to be added to this group then please contact Sam. You can use this link to email Sam Beesley.

Ask Aimee! – launch of village contact group for East Farndon

East Farndon organises a range of village events to support the people in our community. We are aware that some people find it difficult to attend these events, especially during the cold and dark winter months, and this can leave them feeling isolated and lonely.

Our village has created a contact group that aims to make sure that everyone feels a connection with the community and are supported in attending village events. The contact group, which is made up of village residents, is available for anyone to call for help in getting to and from village events or for simply organising a get together for a cup of tea and a chat.

This initiative is known as “Ask Aimee” named after Aimee, who lives in East Farndon and has inspired the creation of our village contact group.

To get in touch please call 01858 402055 to leave a message and one of our team of East Farndon residents will return your call and set about getting things organised to help where we can. For those who have access, you can also make contact using this e-mail link: email Ask Aimee

East Farndon events are published in the monthly Parish Magazine, on the Village Website and Facebook pages, and posters around the village. As a reminder, click this link to visit our website Village Events Page: https://eastfarndon.org/events

We look forward to seeing you soon.
