We hope this email finds you and your families well.
In this incredibly difficult time for everyone, we, your Councillors, would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the community groups and individuals of Clifton who have pulled together by offering their time and effort to help those that are most vulnerable.
Whether you are an essential worker, one of the Clifton Hub volunteers distributing Government food parcels, have donated much needed PPE for our carers, have helped with shopping for those unable to get out themselves, are one of our incredible Community Protection Officers checking in on our elderly residents, have supported us in cooking and delivering hot meals for those who need them, or are simply staying at home and social distancing to protect our front-line staff, we offer our warmest thanks to you!
When we stood for election, we did so to support the community that we all love. However we can safely say we have never been prouder to call ourselves your Councillors. Despite all the challenges, seeing everyone pull together is testament to Clifton’s strength and community spirit.
This crisis is far from over, and we urge you to continue following the government’s guidelines to keep our community safe for everyone.
We encourage anyone who may need help, or knows of someone who does, to please contact Nottingham City Council’s Customer Hub on 0115 915 5555, Clifton Advice Centre 07887 925 181 or one of us, your local Councillors.
We are in this together and we are here for you!
Cllr Kevin Clarke, Cllr Kirsty Jones and Cllr Maria Watson
Lawrence, also known as Loz, normally works with our Sports & Leisure teams but since COVID-19 he’s been called in to support our community in Clifton.
In this video Loz explains how he worked with Cllr Maria Watson to get food and support to a lady who is currently shielding.
A range of support is available for people in Nottingham – from asking good neighbours to pick up some essentials, all the way through to NHS Shielding Measures and Adult Social Care support.
If you are self-isolating, and have no other means of support, you can call the Council. We can deliver a food parcel to your door for a small charge – parcels are free for extremely vulnerable people in NHS Shielding Measures. Simply call the Council’s Customer Hub on 0115 915 5555. This line is open 9am-5pm Monday to Friday or you can complete the online form at www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/coronavirus
Want to volunteer? If you would like to help your community by delivering food packages or providing phone support, please become a volunteer with Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service www.nottinghamcvs.co.uk/volunteering/want-to-volunteer
Want more than a food parcel? Our Meals at Home service provides single person and family food options as well as vegan and vegetarian meals – everything can be delivered frozen ready for you to cook at home or hot meals can be delivered too. If you have an elderly or vulnerable relative, ordering a regular delivery can help you to feel better, knowing a hot meal has been delivered to your loved one by our friendly team. Simply call 0115 876 1847 or visit www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/mealsathome
