elb Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I wonder if we could have a list of all the ways to volunteer, places seeking and coordinating help and practical ways to offer it. Does anyone know the best way of doing this? Inevitably and rightly much of this is informal, highly local and organic; I am shopping for people and reaching out and our road is connected. But I am concerned there is lots of need, and quite a bit of as yet untapped desire to help. While at home with my children and working part time I could also fit in phoning people who need support as well as shopping for people and doing anything I can to support NHS staff and people keeping the place going. I am particularly concerned for people vulnerable to mental ill health, folk with addictions and homeless people. I wondered too about other ideas, like getting books to people (hygienically of course). Any thoughts on whether this stuff could be clearly and accessibly listed together or whether it?s already happening somewhere?

ED Bird Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 By now 95% of streets within our Goose Green ward will have received our self-isolating support flyer. We've had an incredible response; with 300+ volunteers & growing by the minute! So much so that our official whatsapp group is fluctuating full & people are unable to join. We now have our very own newsletter to keep everyone updated & involved.

You'll be contacted by one of our organisers & assigned a volunteer suitable to your needs.To save you searching all over the forums & on facebook, here is how you can find us, get in touch or involved!Goose Green Mutual Aid email: [email protected]Goose Green Mutual Aid Whatsapp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LApspsBjIAn5LOJifuRLWOGoose Green Mutual Aid Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/d431cd2f8f97/goose-green-mutual-aidGoose Green Mutual Aid spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ezG8bLmtM0RjuzfgWsxVRZ60jt0PzLVPxQnbW0eZXrs/edit#gid=0Warmest wishes, Heather {The Wingless Bird} 07715288964 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/251364-how-to-help-consolidated/#findComment-1410998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
