volunteers to get shopping

[sal239]

Hello,

Does anyone have the details of those willing to get shopping for those self isolating, older people?

Thanks.

One good option would be to find the local mutual aid group for the person who needs help. There is a Southwark-wide group and then this breaks down to council wards/parishes and sometimes individual streets, each with its own What's App group where people can ask for this kind of help and others will volunteer to provide it.

The Southwark mutual aid FB page is here

If you post a message on there stating which area the person who needs help lives in, somebody should reply offering to help and/or providing a link to the local WA group.

There are quite a few mutual aid groups in the area - some down to a specific street. Check this website: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=covid+mutual+aid&va=z&t=hk&ia=web.

I have a WhatsApp list of 100 people on my street alone (Bellenden Rd), offering support to each other.
