Are you self isolating or unable to go out? Do you need help with shopping, collecting prescriptions or dog walking? We can help with this or other concerns or just a friendly phone call.
We have some useful information in our FAQs below which we are updating regularly so please check these first.
For help please email: support@burphamca.org.uk or phone: 07880 586455.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There are various other support networks in my area, who should I contact?
As you can imagine, all the volunteer networks are still evolving to cope with the pandemic. If you have a local friend or relative that can help you then please contact them first.
Will you be able to collect a prescription for me?
All the local pharmacies are offering a delivery service so in the first instance, please contact them. They are currently under a lot of pressure so may not be able to assist. If they can't, then please contact us..

Burpham Air Pollution Community Workshop review
|
Do you worry about the impact the heavy traffic through Burpham has on air quality? The Burpham Community Association (BCA) has been working with Professor Kumar and his Global Centre for Clean Air Research team at Surrey University and we have already recorded some interesting results.
We hosted a workshop on air pollution on Saturday 12th January in the Village Hall. It started with a very informative presentation from Professor Kumar on the different kinds of air pollution and the effects they can have. Then we looked at ways we can mitigate the damage. Thanks to Professor Kumar and his fantastic team from Surrey University GCARE team for such an interesting morning. We still have some pollution sensors in key areas of Burpham so if you would like to find out more then please contact our secretary (secretary@burphamca.org.uk) |
