Lambeth have put together a special coronavirus crisis edition of ‘Lambeth Talk’, containing multi-lingual advice and sign-posting of support/guidance from the council and Public Health England (PHE) on COVID-19, as well as information on the many Food Banks and other VCS organisations which are assisting the community at this time (including how to donate or volunteer).
Hand delivery
The magazine will be delivered by hand starting at the beginning of April. The delivery team have been attributed “Key worker status” and will have masks and gloves, hand sanitiser and social distancing measures including working alone and picking up stock from pre agreed locations.
