Hi all, I've seen a few threads about people struggling with getting supplies etc. at the moment and wanted to make as many people as possible aware of the help that ACORN is offering as a mutual aid network.
You can sign up for help here https://acorntheunion.org.uk/corona/
They are offering food and prescription deliveries, and phone calls to people feeling isolated.
They have groups in Brighton, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Lancaster, Liverpool and Newcastle and may also be able to help if you live on the edges of these areas.
Stay safe everyone!
