<p>With the end in sight, the support need isn't going to be over. We have bereaved and long-term handicapped in our midst, and a lot of less vissible psychological damage. It may be useful to get together with your surgery to learn appropriate first aid support skills as the professional services are going to be overwhelmed.

<p>Dear Noeleen - I think we've resolved this with phone calls and WhatsApp, but I want to explain to everyone. </p>
<p></p>
<p>As local ad hoc volunteer groups, there's a problem that we identified early on: there might be duplication but it's better than leaving someone out. </p>

<p>We don't expect or want any volunteer to do anything that puts them at risk.</p>

<p></p>
<p>We don't expect or want any volunteer to do anything that puts them at risk.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The local councillors have been extremely supportive. Neither Catherine West nor any Local Councillors are directly involved with our flyer distribution and community project, but when there are individuals or households who need help beyond what the local volunteers can provide, the Councillors have been extremely quick to help those in need. Honestly, I feel we are very lucky to have this massive community volunteer network supported by our local Councillors who have assisted those in dire circumstances.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I hope that's a good explanation and it helps you and others on the site. Please contact me or reply if you want any further information.</p>

<p>- They have set up a network of Road Reps to co-ordinate support - there is an alphabetical list of the roads covered at the end of this update</p>

<p>- They had hundreds of emails, most were volunteers and organising that, but about 10-15 were people asking directly for help. </p>
<p>- They have had at least 50 calls, mostly direct from people in need.</p>
<p>- They created a list of "vulnerable people", and are working with local coordinators to check on them.</p>
<p>- They have referred a small number cases to Haringey Councillor James <font style="background-color: #ffffff;">Chiriyankandath</font> and/or Connected Communities when they needed more assistance than the BPCA could provide.</p>
