Efforts to help support our communities through the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak are underway, with lots of existing organisations and new groups and individuals offering help.
Here’s how you can find help and offer help!
FIND SUPPORT
Please ask for or accept support from your neighbours, friends or relatives who can help you with shopping, supplies, prescriptions and so on if possible, as many are needing support from organisations at this unprecedented time.
We are gathering a list of community organisations and service providers that are offering support in the community across south west Birmingham during the current coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak (2020).
This list is publicly available on B31 Voices for use by members of the community, as well as other community groups and service providers, and will continue to grow, so do check back.
If you would like to publicly list your organisation, please complete this form
Northfield Neighbourhood Network Scheme and Northfield Community Partnership are coordinating some support in the Northfield area and will also use this list.
