There is also a volunteer point set up at the pub car park, where people can go to ask for help or for anything they need, as well as people who might have items to donate.

There is also a drop-off point at Ellel Village Hall. Items desperately needed include cleaning equipment and storage such as boxes, bags for life and suitcases.

For the coming weeks, people who are able to volunteer with helping the clean-up operation are also welcome to get in touch.
