Village Voice June/July 2020
P&TG
TOGETHER
In April / May issue of VV we announced
the formation of the P&TG Together
group to support residents during this
Covid19 time. Many of our volunteers
have helped in a number of ways, doing
shopping, collecting prescriptions (
although Village Care have done a sterling
job working closely with Lansdale
pharmacy), but perhaps more
importantly many residents have enjoyed
having contact with others during quiet
and often lonely times...
Miles Green, Chairman of P&TGRS appreciates
the work of PTG Together and said ‘The
simplicity and effectiveness of this P&TG
Together set up, together with the VE Day
celebratory recording, has only been made
possible by the expert use of modern technology
- the Website, Facebook , Whats App and Zoom.
Twenty years ago, even 10 years ago, it would
not have been possible. So hats off and full
marks to those who put in place such an
effective system.’
P&TG Together undertook a ONE CAN
collection at the end of April and collected a
ELSEY FAMILY
EMELIA AND GABRIELLA PICCIANO
staggering 100 bags of tinned and dried foods,
which was repeated on 14th May. Thank you to
everyone who contributed and collected the
goods. (Further monthly collections are planned
for June 11th, July 16th and August 13th).
We also encouraged residents to join in the
village wide events whilst observing social
distancing rules.
We have had some favourable feedback and a
few comments from the Area Coordinators and
Road Volunteers that capture the moments for
us all to savor;
Beth Pitron, Area Coordinator for Penn &
Common area said ‘I have so enjoyed getting to
know some new people in the village and it has
made my sense of the Penn and
Tylers Green community even
stronger. The friendships I have
made supporting a few couples in
need in the village, I know will
remain strong long after this
pandemic is a thing of the past. If
nothing else, then this strange time
has taught me that I live in the most
extraordinary place and that it’s
never too late to make new friends
from different generations!!!’
Ian Forbes Area Coordinator for
Ashwells said ‘ we have mainly
