The Ballyarnett DEA Community Response HELPLINE has went live again on Monday 2nd November for individuals / families experiencing recent financial hardship as a direct consequence of the coronavirus. We have adopted new procedures and protocols in line with the other Community Response Groups across the council area and agreed with DC&SDC and DfC.

The core aim of the Ballyarnett DEA Community Response is to ensure that we provide support and assistance to any resident whose financial circumstances have changed / got worse as a result of Covid19. We aim to provide a comprehensive signposting / support service and ensure that every resident is aware of the wide range of services available across this community/city.

 

The phone line number is 028 7135 8787 and email is mary@shantallow.net

The Derry Catechetical Centre have worked to create resources to help people remember their beloved who have gone before them in the month of November. Mindful that the usual large parish Masses can’t be held, the diocese is trying to encourage families to pray at home and remember their dead. 

 

Please follow the link below to access the resources.
