Are you experiencing the effects of loneliness and social isolation because of the Coronavirus?
Or, would you welcome the friendly voice of someone at the other end of the phone to help you practice your English conversation skills?
A group of volunteers from Manchester Refugee Support Network (MRSN) have come together and are here for you.
With the ever-changing developments of COVID-19 and the impact it is having on Mustard Tree they are now in need of some short-term volunteer support to help deliver their crisis offers.
Mustard Tree currently require support around the following opportunities, which qualify as key workers roles:
Information, Advice and Support Manchester (IASM) can help SEND families at this time and have extended their helpline hours to 8.30am-4pm, Monday to Friday.
OneEducation’s have launched a new helpline for any parent/carer of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Manchester schools and early years settings. You can have a problem-solving conversation relating to educating your child/young person at home. This might be issues around learning, behaviour, anxiety and mental health needs.
All Greater Manchester residents can now access free online programmes through Silver Cloud, a digital mental health platform. These can help ease stress levels, improve sleep or build resilience. Each programme uses proven methods, including cognitive behavioural therapy and is confidential and secure.
NHS Volunteer Responders and others who are volunteering to help their communities during the coronavirus outbreak do not need to contact their insurer to update their documents or extend their cover, the ABI have said. The reminder comes as over half a million people have signed up to be NHS Volunteer Responders.
The Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) have released two papers that outline the challenges facing local governments as they begin to formulate their economic response to the Covid-19 crisis, the necessity to build back better and practical actions for local leaders as they move towards just recovery and profound reform.
Manchester City Council have translated their messages for the helpline number in Arabic, Bangladeshi, Cantonese, Chinese, Czech, English, Farsi, French, Guajarti, Hindi, Larvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Tigrinya and Urdu.

Many fundraising events in the UK have been postponed or cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst hopefully many of these events will go ahead at a later date, many charities across the UK have been left struggling to maintain their services.
The Morrisons Foundation recognises that homeless people are particularly vulnerable to Covid-19 because they are more likely to have underlying health conditions and are less able to access basic sanitation.
