As prices are rising, and the cost of living becomes more expensive, it is up to us as a community to support one another. Below is a quick and simple six-point guide to supporting people if they are vulnerable, unwell, or lonely.
I want to help what do I do?
Found in-need neighbours? They may be: Elderly or unwell, isolated, and vulnerable, have no support around them, needing emotional and / or physical support.
Gather group of helpers They may be: Family, friends, neighbours, and other local volunteers.
Let local leaders know They may be: Local councillors, community leaders, faith-group leaders, or business leaders. They can be approached by messaging, calling, or social media.
Help neighbours in-need By: Making contact via post, phone, or in-person with neighbours, dropping-off basic shopping, contacting medical or local services if needed, and making regular check-ins.
Share good stories By: Telling your local leader what you’ve done, using social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc.).
Encourage friends to do same By: Contacting friends, family, neighbours and local volunteers to do the same.
These six points provide a good basis for community support; however, they are guidance only - everyone is different, and individuals will require tailored support.
Don’t: share people’s names and addresses, ask for or receive people’s bank cards or PIN, or provide unwanted attention.
Community action is a brilliant thing, but if you see this is being misused or suspect a crime is being committed locally, please contact the Police.
