We hope this email finds you and your families well. As your local ward Councillors we wish to let you know that you are not alone in this crisis and that your City Council continues to work hard to help those who need it most.
Thank you to residents for all that you are doing to support each other, your community and the city in these difficult times. It’s been important in recent weeks to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives and we encourage residents to continue to follow Government guidance as it develops. Our thoughts are with all those who have lost their lives, or who have lost people close to them, due to Coronavirus. We’re also thinking of more vulnerable residents, or those with caring responsibilities, for whom these are particularly challenging times. Some of you have volunteered with local residents’ groups or voluntary groups, and many have donated to the Robin Hood Fund - thank you for your kindness and generosity.
Like many of you, every Thursday we’ve been clapping for our carers and on International Workers’ Memorial Day we marked the one minute silence to remember keyworkers who have lost their lives to COVID-19. We are so grateful to those working in the NHS and social care, in Police and Fire Services, to teachers in our schools and staff in Nottingham City Council who have kept essential services running throughout this crisis, as well as shopworkers, bus and delivery drivers and many others who have helped our city to cope with this situation.
This is also a difficult time financially for many people and businesses. Information about support is available on the Council website:Â https://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/coronavirusÂ
Please do get in touch if you need our help - our contact details are at the bottom of this email.
Best wishes,
Cllr Angharad Roberts and Cllr Sam Webster
Our teams have been busy helping hundreds of people get the support they need during the coronavirus pandemic. We have worked with partners across the neighbourhood to help those in need.
Heidi has been working on the Council’s Customer Hub responding to people who need support during Co-vid 19.
Please listen to Heidi's heart-warming storyÂ
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
