I’m pleased to be working with Doncaster Council, Doncaster Leisure Trust (DCLT) and Age UK Doncaster to help share information about the new Doncaster Community Hub.
Announced 25th March 2020
Doncaster Council has launched a Community Hub in response to the COVID-19 crisis, to ensure the most vulnerable people across the borough will be supported during the coming weeks.
Doncaster Community Hub, is a partnership between Doncaster Council, Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust (DCLT), Age UK and other voluntary, community and faith organisations across the Borough.
Mayor Ros Jones said
“We have been planning for Coronavirus over the past month, In the last week we’ve been working closely with partners to pull together this Community Hub resource to help people in our communities.
“The Coronavirus ( COVID-19) pandemic has changed the way we go about our day to day lives and while we are all learning to adjust to these changes, for many people it will bring a great deal of uncertainty.
“Doncaster Community Hub will provide various levels of help and support for people who might not have access to support from other avenues. Phone, email and online support will be provided as well as on the ground teams who will be able to deliver food, pick up prescriptions and help with a variety of other tasks.
“I am extremely grateful and moved, but not surprised that partners and volunteers are seeking to help our most vulnerable families and residents at what are unprecedented times.”
Doncaster Community Hub will provide:
This service will prioritise those people who have no one else to help and who are the most vulnerable, for example over age 70, have an underlying health condition, families struggling to cope and those people who have received a letter from NHS England stating they are in a priority group.
