As Kent heads into Tier 3 on 2nd December, we all know it will cause several problems, including a negative effect on our mental wellbeing.  We have compiled a list of contacts that could help see you through these difficult weeks.  

Kent Together helpline

Maidstone Borough Council is working with Kent County Council to provide a 24 hour helpline which has been set up to support vulnerable people in Kent who need urgent help, supplies or medication.  If you are vulnerable and have an urgent need that cannot be met through existing support networks, you can contact the Kent Together helpline via www.kent.gov.uk/protectkent or by calling on 03000 41 92 92.

You can also report your concerns about the welfare of someone else.
