The Park-Help-Line is Closed

We are sad to report that the Park-Help-Line founded by Sonia McColl of the Park Home JUSTICE Campaign, sponsored by Paul Baker Insurance Services (PBIS) and manned by volunteers, has taken its last call.

The service has run successfully for a number of years, during which time it has helped hundreds of park home residents with all types of situations providing guidance, pointing people in the right direction or simply just listening to their worries. Sadly calls for new volunteers were not successful, and so with a heavy heart, Sonia decided to take the very difficult decision to close down the operation of Park-Help-Line this year.

Paul Baker of PBIS commented: “We were delighted to sponsor this service from inception and know what a wonderful help the volunteers were able to provide; they are all to be thanked enormously for giving of their time, empathy and advice.”

We suggest if residents have concerns, they contact:

LEASE – Leasehold Advisory Service, on 020 7832 2500 or visit www.lease-advice.org.

IPHAS – The Independent Advisory Service  – www.iphas.co.uk

NAPHR – The National Association of Park Home Residents – www.naphr.co.uk
