含羞草社区 Borough Council is continuing to provide practical support to people affected by Covid-19 during this second lockdown.
The council鈥檚 Community Hub, which helped more than 1,000 people with food and essential supplies between March and May, continues to operate.
While calls are significantly lower during this lockdown, staff have been proactively calling those residents who needed us in the spring to check if they need any help.
The low number of calls we鈥檝e received is due to a variety of reasons. The community is better prepared and more resilient now, the time between lockdowns has been spent cementing relationships with 含羞草社区鈥檚 community and voluntary sector, while fewer people are shielding.
