A website designed to help support the most vulnerable in our society in this time of crisis is providing links to mutual aid organisations and advice on how to help out with them and to set up your own.
Covid-19 Mutual Aid UK says: “We focus on providing resources and connecting people to their nearest local groups, willing volunteers and people in need.”
“We recognise that injustice doesn’t affect everyone equally and whilst we’re all at risk of Covid-19, there are some people who are more vulnerable and need greater support from the community.”
The site provides links to more than 50 mutual aid groups in the South Yorkshire area and others further afield in the rest of the county and in north-east Derbyshire.
You can find your local group here. There is also a wide range of resources and guides available.
Groups are not being set up in a uniform way and each community is advised to do what is best for them. These resources are there to give some advice and pass on ways of working. These groups are not officially affiliated with Covid-19 Mutual Aid UK and Covid-19 Mutual Aid UK is not an official organisation.
