During the Covid-19 pandemic #BrumTogether has been the city’s coalition of voluntary, community and faith groups, for essential supplies and support. The network included more than 80 partner organisations working together to provide those most in need with essential support and services. This involved co-ordinating and delivering food parcels, hot meals, hygiene products, clothing, baby supplies and children’s activity packs to families.
To support the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in our communities, The Active Wellbeing Society also delivered a friendly phone chat service, virtual wellbeing activities and shared positive stories of people coming together to support each other.
Food support: As of 01/07/21 we are no longer offering emergency food parcels. You can find out about free cooked meals available at our community cafés here. You can find out about alternative local food support here.
Telephone support: We now offer a ‘Listen and Connect‘ telephone support service. Find out more here.
