LOCAL SUPPORT
Headington Action encourages residents on all streets to set up a mutual self-help scheme based around the mobile phone app WhatsApp. This can be done either through the Oxford Hub or by local initiative.
WhatsApp - This mobile phone app is excellent for creating support groups. Just find someone to initiate the group, push short notes through doors, respond by text, the lead person joins everyone into the group and it's done. Then encourage people to link to neighbours who don't have the technology and act as their access to the group. Click here for a suggested template note to post to neighbours.
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.
