A Community Network for Bowes Park and Bounds Green
Dear Neighbour
The Bowes Park Community Association (BPCA) is co-ordinating a network of community volunteers across Bounds Green and Bowes Park to support our neighbours during the Coronavirus pandemic. We think it is vital that we provide safe contact and practical support – at a distance – to anyone who needs it. We know other local groups are already setting up support systems which is amazing and heartening to know that we live in such a caring area.
To make sure no-one in our community is overlooked and to use our resources to best effect, we’d be really grateful if you could reply to this email or email info@bowespark.org.uk to let us know:

Many thanks and take care
Emma, BPCA Chair
P.S. if you are reading this and are in need of support because of coronavirus, please contact us

My husband and I would very much like to help with this. We are in a high risk group but can help around our road Hardwicke Road with support. We are feeling very well and healthy.
We could co ordinate something in our street if you wish.
Hi there
I work in publishing and someone sent me a brilliant list this morning of free books and audio. Hope this is useful.

You'll likely need a crafts directory list too. Time to get started on booties, knitters. In 9 months hence...

Hi Vivian, there certainly will be! Have you had a flyer through your door with the details of your street coordinator? If not, we'll find someone to help you.

Thanks for organising this. It is great.

Now the restaurant sector's imploded, Covent Garden's overloading - and I suspect Smithfield and Billingsgate may be too. With Mums now standing forlorne, this may circumvent the Tesco hoards
