Five area hubs are now established for each of the 5 Bradford district constituencies. These link into a network of smaller Neighbouring Support Centres, which include local community centres, groups and food hubs.Our church has been recognised as one of these Neighbouring Support Centres in Wibsey, under the supervision of the South Bradford Area Hub. We already provide emergency food parcels to families in difficulty and have a network of volunteers giving regular phone calls to persons in auto-isolation. We are waiting further instructions to be able to do shopping for auto-isolated people who cannot access online shopping, and deliver prescriptions. For more information, call the vicar: 01274 676359, or 07936023093.Note that the Neighbouring Support Centre should be used when family and friends support does not exist or has been exhausted.
