Support during Coronavirus situation

In the current climate of uncertainty with Coronavirus we will continue to provide community support to you as much as we can. We are committed to continue to work together to get through this. The support we provide will change slightly but we are still here and will try our very best to provide the assistance that is needed.

Support

Do you need support to help others in the CB1 Community? It may be support in coordinating getting food items for neighbours self-isolating/social distancing. If you do, Sam is on hand to support in whatever way he can. Just let him know at sam@communityregen.net.

A really useful resource to help your neighbour who may be self-isolating and need help is this form from Viral Kindness to put through neighbours’ doors – https://cb1community.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Coronavirus-support-form-PDF.pdf

Community Engagement support

The way we provide community engagement will change a little, but we will still be here. Here’s what we will continue to do:

Sam will continue working on CB1 Community engagement 3 days a week so continue to feel free to email, text and phone

Sam is able to virtually meet with residents and businesses if you would like to meet (via Zoom, WhatsApp etc) – with the latest government measures, meeting face to face will not be able to happen

Meetings (like Steering Group, Residents Meet, ASB Focus Group) will still go ahead as planned but we will have these meetings virtually

How virtual meetings are held will be clearly communicated, and we will ensure everyone who wants to join the meeting can join. Sam will help you to do this.

We will continue planning events and activities for when this current epidemic is over and we still want to hear your thoughts, issues and ideas.

We will reschedule events that were going to go ahead in the next few weeks/months to a later point when risk has passed so you can still get involved and enjoy the events/activities at CB1

We will set up WhatsApp group chats if residents think this would be useful

Sam will communicate with residents and businesses on what support can be provided during the current Coronavirus situation

Sources of support

There are lots of mutual support networks setting up around the country to help us get through this together. Here are some listed below. As we find more, we will add them hear. If you know of a network that may benefit local CB1 people, let Sam know and he can promote on here.
