Message from your local Radford ward Councillors

A big thank you to our residents, volunteers, key workers and colleagues who are all doing so much to stop the spread of the Coronavirus and ensure that lives are saved. We have all had to make sacrifices and lifestyle changes during the lockdown. It is so heartwarming to see the community spirit and generosity of so many stepping up to help and support others.

A huge thank you to all those who are donating to The Robin Hood Fund supporting local food banks and charities.

Your neighbourhood team is working hard to ensure that essential services are delivered without disruption and also to provide extra help and support for vulnerable or self-isolating residents.

Our Customer Hub on 0115 915 5555 can put you in touch with community support groups and local charities who can collect groceries and prescriptions, or even chat on the phone if you are struggling with isolation.

Our website www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/coronavirus contains a whole range of information including:

  • volunteering
  • our Meals At Home service providing a varied menu of low-cost hot and frozen meals open to everybody

How we have helped to support people in Radford ward

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.

In this video Saj, Director at Himmah, explains how they have provided hot meals and food parcels to support vulnerable people in our area.

We give grateful thanks to Himmah who've been amazing helping people through their food bank & partnership with local restaurants to provide hot meals!

Thank you!


How you can get help!

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
