I’ve had a truly inspiring today here in @Royal_Greenwich so far and it was absolutely brilliant to visit our community hub earlier with @MattHartley100 which we are delivering in partnership with @CAFCTrust as part of our response to #COVID19 in #Greenwich #CouncilsCan
We know that this crisis means a lot of people are going to need our help in a lot of different ways - the work @CAFCTrust are helping with is specifically helping isolated people who are vulnerable, self isolating and without support networks to help them.
To give a sense of scale, the level of calls across the week so far: M - 800 T- 1215 W - 1400. Today, 211 food packages are being distributed. 46 prescriptions have been dispensed and will be delivered by this team. Incredible stuff which is making a difference.
I also just had my first really emotional moment thanking all of our adult social care, public health & NHS teams who are doing INCREDIBLE things. The professional & personal challenge around responding to #COVID19 is just enormous & I’m truly lucky to have such a dedicated team.
Also thanks to @maritimeLDN who had me on this morning to talk about our response, and I’m looking forward to our first @Royal_Greenwich Facebook Live session tonight where I’ll be answering your questions.
And finally a massive thanks to St Margaret’s CE In #Greenwich for this superb #greenwichrainbow - please remember to clap, cheer, bang and whoop for all of our public sector workers doing exceptional things tonight at 8pm! #clapforkeyworkers #ClapForCarers #clapforNHS
