Please read our message below, taking effect from 15 February.
This message includes information about our service reduction and also local resources that can help while some of our work is paused.
At the moment, due to continuing low demand which has coincided with lower space and volunteer capacity, we aren’t offering food parcels. We will instead be signposting to the fantastic Albrighton Community Fridge, Feed the Hill and Telegraph Hill Mutual Support.
It has been our pleasure to have supported our community in response to the COVID-19 crisis since March 2020, and will continue to offer the following support for our SE15 neighbours going forward, depending on availability of volunteers:
- Essential errands for those who are self-isolating (shopping, post office, picking up prescriptions)
- Odd jobs for the elderly and vulnerable
- A friendly chat over the phone
- Signposting to other support services and charities in Southwark
We will continue to run a phone service for neighbours to call and request support by leaving a voicemail message, and receiving a call back from one of our lovely phone volunteers.
If you would like to chip in and volunteer with Nunhead Knocks do let us know. There is no formal programme in place, but volunteers are checking voicemails, emails, and responding to requests for support via WhatsApp.The more the merrier!
Love from your neighbours,
Nunhead Knocks
