Over the next couple of months, quite a lot of people may be ill and need help with practical things like shopping and medicines. Maybe not yet, but maybe soon.
Maybe you can help. Maybe you (or someone you know) will need help. Let’s see if we can connect people so that we’re ready.
If you can help, or you think you might need help, please let us know here:
https://www.ilovefreegle.org/covidWe're trying to connect people who need help with other people nearby who can provide it.
We don’t know how many responses we get. Maybe we’ll just get a few - if so then we’ll leave it in the (washed) hands of other people. Maybe we’ll get loads, and we’ll need to work out how to put people in touch safely - that would be a good problem to have. We won’t pass on your details before getting back in touch with you.
If you are self isolating, perhaps sorting through stuff would be a good distraction? Always freegle responsibly - avoid contact, wash your hands, self-isolate if you're unwell or vulnerable. If you need urgent help, look at the NHS website (
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/).
You can also have a look at Reading Voluntary Action who have lots of useful information and ideas for helping each other:

Keep well,
Your Local Freegle Volunteers
