COVID 19 Mutual aid groups in the UK for those who want support or want to help support others.

Hello everyone,

As the pandemic spreads we have to look at how we can not only protect urselves but reach out to those who are less able to support themselves so here's a link to COVID 19 Mutual Aid this has full contact details for those who want to support others and those who want support and I hope that it grows.

I have given my phone numder to elderly vulnerable neighbours and want to join a local commuinty team cooking for those who rely on spport for others as I want to help with healthy gluten free options.

I've also offered to walk another neighbours chocolate brown cocker spnaiel who looks longingly out of the window at passers by.

I am also now buying extra in the supermarket and donating that in their food bank box as people are losing their jobs and we need to supprt them as it is through no fault of their own.

If anyone has ideas of how they woiuld like support or how they are supporting others then please say as we can beat this virus by working together and supportibg one another.

I hope that once things settle down we become a more humane society where we re-establish our priorities and look out for those less fortunate.

Together we can beat this virus by being vigilant and benevolent.

I am very impressed with everyone involved in all the HU communities for their tireless efforts to reassure and support one another, so well done folks and please pass COVID 19 Mutual Aid link on. I imagine that HU support are in the thick of this so be nice to our kind hosts HU staff as they deserve it.

Thank you,

Jerry.

An excellent idea Jerry and well done to you. I'm thinking closer to home at present as my son-in-law will not get paid if he takes any time off apart from statutory sick pay which they cannot live on with 2 children so I'm keeping an eye on them to support them if needs be.

I have to think about them first of course but will help others if needs be. It's awful what's happening as I'm worried about the small businesses as well, it's going to be very hard.

Thank you Alicia, we have to look out for each how we can and family comes first and these are indeed worrying times.

I hope that your 4 year old grandson is OK during these turbulent times too. 🙏

Jerry. 😊

Thank you Jerry and we certainly do.

It's our granddaughter and she is doing really well and her big sister was being so lovely to her yesterday, that was the last time I saw them, they are now in self-isolation, oh how I'm missing them already.

You keep safe Jerry and well done on your lovely kind gesture by helping those around you.

thanks for this link Jerry. I have my hands completely full at work just now but my husband (who works part time) was saying to me he is keen to volunteer to help in some way. I see there are several possibilities for our local area on that list. thanks
