Some of our friends have themselves had to take great care and not leave the house at all. We have had little news of our member in a care home, but we do know that she has had to isolate in her room for her own protection. Some have continued to work as they are front-line staff or key workers.
We have, between us, also supported people as follows:
- One member has been teaching people how to communicate using Skype or Zoom. This has delighted some elderly people who can now talk to their friends / relatives and see them at the same time.
- Another member has been supporting NHS staff through Samaritans.
- Several have been ringing elderly or vulnerable people and when necessary getting medication for them.
- Several of us have continued to lobby / write to our MPs on the issues of domestic abuse and modern day slavery.
- At least one has continued to support local food banks.
Thanks to everyone for their contribution.
