We hope this email finds you and your families well.Â
We’ve all been living through unprecedented times, but we have come together as a community to help slow the spread of the virus and look out for each other.
As local Councillors, we’ve been working with council officers to keep up to date with the latest information and continuing to support residents.
Sherwood residents have been checking on neighbours, picking up shopping and prescriptions for people unable to leave the house. Local businesses across the ward have also offered support for local residents during this time of need. As well as being exceptionally neighbourly, many people in Sherwood have also formally volunteered to offer support to those in need.
Nottingham has always been a city where we stand with each other. Moving forward out of this crisis, we will want to hold onto and strengthen the web of connections that we have built between us.
Every week, we have come together to clap for our key workers. We would like to state again our thanks to those who are on the frontline, whether in health, our social care workforce, community protection, transport or the many other services that are keeping the city fed, moving and safe.
We hope – and will work to ensure – that all of these key workers are more valued, protected and secure in their work. Every week we clap for our carers is a reminder of how vital these workers are – and should be a time for us to reflect on how we should value these roles as we emerge from this crisis.
Please stay safe and keep to social distancing advice.
Cllr AJ Matsiko, Cllr Lauren O’Grady and Cllr Adele Williams

Here's Angela. She is our Neighbourhood Development Officer for Sherwood ward.
Please take a moment to listen to her beautiful message - a heartfelt response to how we’re coming together as a city during these difficult times.
We are so proud of our teams and our community partners. We would just like to say a huge thank you!
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.
