Since the lockdown began, elderly local residents who usually attend our two pensioners groups at Dovecot, Vauxhall and Norris Green have been shielding and had very little social contact outside their immediate families; these previously isolated and vulnerable local residents are now disproportionately disadvantaged through increased levels of social isolation due to the Covid-19 crisis.

AVCT are ensuring that appropriate essential emergency services are accessible to elderly residents, and the wider community.  This will include the coordination of Emergency Hubs from our community centres, the provision of free space for other community groups providing community services, the delivery of a food and essential shopping service amongst other services. If you feel you or someone you know would benefit from this service please get in touch
