Headington Action
COMMUNITY SUPPORT - COVID-19
Headington Action wants to encourage WhatsApp groups as much as possible as they immediately link to others on the street who will help. Just find someone to initiate, push short notes through doors, respond by text, lead joins all in to the group and its done. Then encourage people to link to neighbours who don't have the technology and act as their access to the group.
WhatsApp - Click here for a suggested template note to post to neighbours to set up a WhatsApp group for your street or area.
Residents' Associations may wish to set up more complex schemes aimed at those without access to the web, etc. Highfield RA is an example - Click here.
Oxford Hub - And for those who want to do more, we encourage you to join the Oxford Hub. Oxford Hub can link those in need to: phone support volunteers (providing regular contact), practical volunteers (food and prescription delivery) and specially trained volunteers (for more complex cases). Visit the Oxford Hub here.
