Tollesbury Volunteers can fetch your shopping: just ask! Wherever possible, please order and pay the shop directly, then ask us to collect. Several local shops deliver, but they’re snowed under, so we can help.
Not all shops can take phone payments, but you can transfer the money to the Taylor’s Charity, which will pay the shop for you: details on request. If you have no access to making bank transfers, please talk to us for other arrangements.
If you have a supermarket collection slot at Maldon or Tiptree (in normal hours!) we can fetch that for you too.
Major Supermarkets
If you are in self-isolation and you can get a collection slot at Maldon, Heybridge or Tiptree (in normal hours please!), then one of our volunteers will fetch it for you. It may be a volunteer from a different “patch”. Some supermarkets have introduced special arrangements as below. Most now allow just 1 adult per trolley (with children if they can’t stay at home), and apply limits on quantities.
