The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government has revealed that more than 500,000 boxes of food have now been delivered to those at highest risk across the country.
The milestone was surpassed a month after the government launched its shielding programme - an unprecedented package of support for those most at risk of catching coronavirus. The effort has also seen a partnership forged between central government and local agencies that is helping to support clinically extremely vulnerable residents through the coronavirus outbreak.
Known as Local Resilience Forums, these partnerships ere put in place across the whole country by Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick to manage the local response to this national emergency.
He said: “This is very challenging time for those having to be shielded from the coronavirus. I said at the start of this national emergency that whilst people need to spend more time at home, we would make sure that they never felt alone and I’ve been pleased to hear that our food packages are helping make life that bit easier.
“We have already delivered over half a million food packages to the most vulnerable and we will be delivering hundreds of thousands more food packages in the coming weeks. I want to relay my own personal thanks to all those delivering these packages to communities around the country led by the local alliance we have put in place. They are among the many unsung heroes are working alongside councils and volunteers to support those who need it most.”
