Coronavirus: here's how you can get help in Bosham
A network of volunteers in the community will help to deliver food to residents, help them access online services and checking that they are alright.
Secondary school teacher Christine Procter said the idea came from a number of people in the community who raised concerns about what would happen to people who were self isolating.

She said: "It was raised on a Bosham Facebook page that we should be looking out for members of our community who cant go out or because of this ridiculous panic-buying.
"It's a community effort. It's inevitable that people with underlying health conditions need to self isolated to protect themselves and it is about how we as a community can help them.
"We have to balance out the fact that people who are self isolating may be a bit wary about who they get help from."
