Helping those in need across Preston

COVID19 is an unknown and difficult situation for everyone, especially the most vulnerable in our society and we are doing everything we can to help.

Preston Together is a free Community Hub service for people in the city who need support.

We are working with partners across the County to support the most vulnerable in our community who are facing difficulties, worries and loneliness as a result of Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Our service is currently operating Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm

I need help

If you are isolated by COVID-19 and need help please  ring our Community Hub on 01772 906777 or email  support@preston.gov.uk

Lancashire Volunteer Partnership  offer services, if you need someone to speak to.

What can we do?

We can help you with:

• Obtaining Food Parcels

If you’re looking for other help please get in touch. Our team may have the answer or be able to signpost you to the service that does.
