Background information on Helping Dawlish: 

Helping Dawlish was formed in March 2020 as an initial emergency response bringing several local organisations together providing a range of services to help local people to cope and to support each other. It has operated since then working not only together during the pandemic, but helping Ukrainian guests and hosts in our community. It is now focusing on the cost of living crisis. Organisations within Helping Dawlish carry out their own activities in the community but work together to help the community.

The organisations in Helping Dawlish have regular Zoom meetings so that we can respond again to issues that may arise and have an impact on our community.  

On this website and Facebook (@helpingdawlish) we will continue to share useful local/national information and advice and provide community support. Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/helpingdawlish/
