The Central Taranaki Safe Community Trust is working proactively to help the community during the alert level 4 lockdown.
Trust chairman Danny Bates says, like most organisations, the Covid-19 alert level 4 hit it quickly.
"We were ready and reacted fast – within four days of the announcement, over 1000 Neighbourhood Support were phoned and an assessment was carried out on their individual needs and concerns."
He says most members were prepared or able to cope and 126 members faced concerns.
"These ranged from getting food and supplies delivered to needing someone just to talk to regularly.
