Mutual Aid Groups

Local people are coming together to offer support in their local area during the outbreak. Most of these groups are organising on Facebook/Whatsapp.  We will be posting the most up to date map on the coronavirus advice page: https://www.manchestercommunitycentral.org/coronavirus-advice-and-resources, but for the meantime please see the spreadsheet on the following pages. (Please note: we are aware of the work of Mutual Aid UK and their map of groups, but it isn’t fully up to date and is missing a number of the Manchester groups)  
 

Volunteering

Macc is organising all those wanting to help during the outbreak. The Volunteer Centre is making a call for volunteers and is also directing volunteers to where they are most needed.

The Trussell Trust

If you are not self-isolating but you are struggling financially there are several food banks in the local area that can help you. Please click the following link for more information: https://www.trusselltrust.org/get-help/find-a-foodbank/wythenshawe/

To support more of our patients to use digital access to health and community services, Manchester City Council has produced a digital inclusion flyer.  This provides information on support with the basics of getting on-line and on an initiative to source devices from businesses.
