Advice from @ReadingCouncil on ways to be #GoodNeighbors during the #COVID19 crisis. Use @OneRdgCommunity hub if you think a neighbour needs help, help @re3recycling by using Love Clean Reading & social distance when out to help our #NHSheroes at @RBNHSFT

Our redeployed Council staff run the One Reading Community Hub 7 days a week, providing food parcels to the most vulnerable. Jamie, normally a chef at The Hexagon and now in charge of packing, explains what a call to the Hub on 0808 189 4325 can provide... #rdguk #coronavirus

"My time still consists of walking round with a trolley collecting boxes, the only difference being they’re boxes of food rather than archives!"

One of our Archivists is currently preparing essential supplies for those in need w/ @ReadingCouncil's One Reading Community Hub.

[Reading Borough Council @ReadingCouncil]

We want to thank our fantastic staff at @readingcouncil, @livingreading, @onerdgcommunity hub and @BFfC_Child for their hard work supporting the #rdguk community during COVID-19. Take a look at just a few of the things that have been achieved so far.

@SightlossRAB @ReadingCouncil Thanks for taking the time to post this - it's really good to know that we're making a real difference to those in need right now.

[RABSightloss @SightlossRAB]

Thank you @OneRdgCommunity! Yesterday our outreach team discovered that one of our vulnerable service users had run out of food and had no way to get any so referred them to the Hub - a food parcel was delivered straight away 🙂 They’re so thankful @ReadingCouncil ❤️Reading #Rdg

On Easter Monday our One Reading Community Hub, made up of redeployed staff from within the Council, is working to deliver food parcels to those in need. Our drivers include people like Tim, for whom this is not his normal day job as he works @Thehexagon and @southstreetarts .

[Reading Borough Council @ReadingCouncil]

The One Reading Community Hub, looking after the most vulnerable residents who need food, prescriptions and support, is run entirely by redeployed Council staff. This is how it works., described by one of the team. Phoneline open over BH weekend 9am - 1pm. #rdguk #coronavirus

@PSCRuth @DeejR50 @juliette_ward @_LisaCherry @wotters We're always on the lookout for more volunteers. If you think you can help , just call our Support and Volunteer Line on 0808 1894325 or fill in the online form https://t.co/rjdpWsXDXT with details of what support you can offer.

[OneRdgCommunity @OneRdgCommunity]

@ReadingCouncil @GaryHuntley11 @JN_Brock @rva_news Thanks for the DM details. Apologies again for the confusion - at present we do need residents to call us each time they need support from @OneRdgCommunity - but we are reviewing this and we will work swiftly in the coming weeks to improve the service.
