Village contact list

The support we are offering is changing quickly, faster than we can leaflet all the homes in Nethy, so
we have to switch to email and online updates (with phone backup for those without email)
Moving forward please check nethybridge.com and
the Nethy Facebook page

If you agree that we (volunteers working with Nethy Community Council) can store your details only
for this campaign, please send your name and phone number to nethynetwork@gmail.com. We may
pass them to health and other government authorities if the situation requires it, but no-one else. If
you do not have access to email please ring Heidi on 07734806765 to register your phone number.
Of course send us any support requests you have that your area supporter is not able to help with.
