Lavant Support Group
Lavant is a civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex, 2.2 miles north of Chichester. It includes three villages: Mid Lavant and East Lavant, and West Lavant which flows from East Dean to Chichester.
Lavant has a high proportion of elderly people and more vulnerable people who had been advised to self-isolate in their own homes. Some are widows, widowers and incredibly lonely. Lavant is very aware of its community. We are conscious that people do not like to ask for help. We are supported by the Church and Parish Council the Lavant Support Group (COVID-19) was set up.
