People across the world are pulling together during this worrying time, and one village shop is no different.

Simply Fresh in Gosforth is making sure the vulnerable and elderly are looked after, offering home delivery to those in isolation.

Milk, bread, sweets, drinks, cleaning products and vegetables are all available through this service, with co-owners David and Michelle Ancell also offering to prepare the veg and meat for customers.

David said: “It is great to be in a position to provide what is proving to be a very popular home delivery service, but also it is lovely to provide for those who are more vulnerable, and to know we are helping them limit their contact with others is just music to everyone’s ears!”

The couple offer same-day delivery, with orders placed before 12pm being delivered that afternoon, and all orders can be placed via phone, Facebook or over email.

Michelle is also trying to brighten everyone up with cheerful messages posted daily, encouraging everyone to think positively and make the most of being at home.

Deliveries are being made to all those in-and-around Gosforth, including Seascale and Drigg.
