We would encourage people to join local support groups (no meetings!) that are springing up in the community. We are aware that The Leys already has a thriving group and it would be helpful if we knew what other groups exist so we can share information. Obviously, these groups need to observe good protocols- minimising visits to the shops and only leaving goods on the doorstep rather than knocking. One very safe way to pay is to use PayPal Friends and Family which means people can transfer money using only their email address.
Announcement from Marys Meals and Community Larder:
