We have received over 50 applications for the All in One Gift cards – they are on their way!
As you know Partnership Southwark wanted to thank everyone for all the tremendous work voluntary and community groups have provided during the pandemic (original article HERE). All the vouchers have now been allocated and on the way but we wanted to share a few stories of their amazing work!
“Providing health food for the vulnerable people in our community. Delivering food for the elderly people in the community” [Zenoch community Hub]
“Increased level of support for older people and those with mental health challenges. Deliveries of food, medications, art and craft supplies. 1:1 telephone support where needed, regular welfare calls, zoom sessions, help to get online, help in emergencies etc. We could not have done this without our fantastic Mental Health & Wellbeing team, Positive Ageing team and a group of extremely committed and conscientious volunteers.” [Blackfriars Settlement]
