@laura_alice24 So sorry to read that you're going through all of this - on top of everything else that has happened! 😢

@pilotsander @laura_alice24 If not, then there are literally thousands of community groups (like ours) set up in the wake of Coronavirus/COVID-19. There'll almost certainly be one in his area with eyes and ears at street level. If you need any suggestions get in touch, please.

Our friends at Harrington Junior School are trying to find their feet again after last week's blaze.

They are in need of art equipment - paintbrushes, water pots, paint, coloured paper - so that they can teach children of #keyworkers in #Derby - -DM if you can help.

I got this letter today from my Dad boss today. My dad works funny hours and is gone for a long time .

Harrington Junior School, Long Eaton, would be a worthy nomination after the recent fire there. £5,000 for the school's library from National Book Tokens (and something for yourself too)! https://t.co/g2QQVghkSC

Derby connections, can you help find licensed premises for our friends @MamboMobileBars to create a cocktail pick up shop? Please. Thank you.

@treetopshospice In anticipation of lockdown, I bought a bike from this scheme in March. It's been absolutely priceless and enabled me to not only get around the community I serve, but brought me much joy - and a little fitness as well! Thank you!

And 96% of council bosses said the contribution of community groups to their Covid response had been 'very significant' or 'significant'.

Clearing the garage? If you have any unwanted bikes (any age, size or condition), please let us know so we can pass details onto volunteer Pushbike Paul, who is reconditioning and selling bikes in aid of Treetops. Local collection available only - [email protected]

@EMA_Airport @MAG_PressOffice we're indebted to you and your team of volunteers and to the COVID-19 Community Relief Fund. Thank you for the magnificent donation of non-perishable food for us to distribute to those in need in Sandiacre. 👍😍✈️

Heartbreaking conversation on a doorstep today while delivery a prescription. The sort that normally would have called for a hug and a sit down with a cup of tea and chat. This is when it hurts and the helplessness hits home ☹️

Our "Book Drop and Swap" scheme is now up and running and has had its first requests for dropping/swapping. We are filling a gap and meeting a need in a viable way, which is what counts at this time 👍📚🙂

[Sandiacre Mutual Aid @SandiacreAid]

Treetops Hospice Care (@treetopshospice ) are the latest recipients of the Calendula "Sowing Hope" seed kits we are distributing on behalf of @AgeUK_DD. Pictured is Nige, receiving a batch of kits on behalf of Treetops 🌈♥️👍

If we don't address the issue now we are just adding to the inequality impact

[Sandiacre Mutual Aid @SandiacreAid]

Grant monies received via @Derbyshirecc's Community Leadership Scheme are a lifeline to us as we support our community. We simply could not viably do what we do otherwise. Immense gratitude to Derbyshire County Council and to Cllr Wayne Major for their faith in us. Thank you! 🫂
