We are part of the Essex Community Shield, which brings volunteers together with the people most in need of help due to coronavirus. You can find out how to get help, or how to volunteer.

We are continuing to process search requests but due to the coronavirus, there will be delays to our usual turnaround. We are unable to process post at the moment, so you need to make your application electronically. In addition, our online system may be unavailable for short periods on Friday 27 March for essential maintenance.
