Each of the ten localities across GM has set up an advice line for vulnerable people/people affected by COVID-19. It is predominantly for those identified as vulnerable and having to self-isolate for 12 weeks, particularly those with limited support through friends and family (who may also be self-isolating).
They can offer advice around local support and council services, arrange food parcels for local residents, look to help with the delivery of prescriptions, offer information for homeless people and help with feelings of isolation.
The below numbers of local Community Response Lines are a really useful first port of call for support to access and further information on medicine, food and general wellbeing:
