Haywards Heath COVID19 Mutual Aid
Donation protected
Haywards Heath COVID19 Mutual Aid Support Group provides support to the communities of Haywards Heath, Cuckfield & Lindfield.
Since our phones going live on 20th March, we've helped an amazing 490 households with requests for shopping, prescription pick ups and friendly phone calls for those feeling isolated and alone.
We have helped the local food bank to re-open which is great but there is still higher demand than can currently be met and we will be using these funds to provide for those that are unable to provide food for themselves due to the current situation.
We also provide support to families or individuals who have no other support during these uncertain times with things like shopping, collecting prescriptions, a friendly phone call or contact with other agencies like Age UK or mental health groups.
Being isolated on your own can be incredibly lonely and we want to do all we can to help our community through this lockdown period too.
We have registered over 700 volunteers to date who have all kindly offered their time to help within the community and have a list of phone handlers taking your calls and a phone support team ready to call people who need a friendly call.
Please visit our facebook page for more information about us.
