Cancellation of the HAVO50 Forum garden party and some sad news.

Due to the current situation we will probably have to cancel the Garden Party planned for August. All future meetings are still cancelled at present, we will keep you informed when we are able to resume activities hopefully in the Autumn/Winter.

Sadly John Paul Land, aged 84, peacefully passed away in The Royal Hospital Chelsea on 9th April. A Romford boy who joined the Army and became a Chelsea Pensioner a good friend to the Forum and he also supported many events across the Borough.

***PLEASE NOTE***

It is important to stress that the service is for people being shielded from COVID-19 or who are otherwise vulnerable because of their age, frailty, disability or because they are pregnant. It’s not a service for all members of the public.

Calls are being directed through the RVS Call Centre, who will confirm the best they can that the call for help meets the criteria.

It is also important to note that GPs, pharmacies, local authorities and community nurses remain really important to the service so there is a continuing effort to raise awareness with these healthcare professionals.
