Community Support

Levenshulme has a strong community spirit. We help each other. This will be needed more than ever over the coming weeks and months. Particular support will be required for those who are self isolating and for vulnerable people such as older people and those with existing medical conditions.

The group is to share ideas and offer support to each other during this difficult time, particularly to those who are self isolating.

If you want to provide support and assistance please do so in a considerate way and always respect the privacy of anyone you are helping. There is a guidance sheet for providing support:

You can print out these leaflets to distribute so that people can request help. The leaflet can be downloaded by clicking on the button:

Levy Corona Helpers have compiled a Street Directory of coordinators for help and support.

Contact your street coordinator in the first instance if you either need or can offer assistance. If your street does not have a coordinator email set up, please email levycoronahelpers@gmail.com

You can also inbox the LCH Admins on the Facebook group or if necessary, contact Carey by text on 07968 031085.

If you are hearing from people in your street and have issues arising that you are not sure how to deal with please let LCH know. All the Admins work full time, so it might be that they can’t respond immediately.

Please note Levenshulme Inspire is offering a Corona Phone Hotline for certain streets, check the list to see if it applies to your street.

The application process has been simplified to help get the money out to groups quickly. The application form can be downloaded here:

Completed application forms can be sent to: welovemcrcharity@manchester.gov.uk

Please share this information with groups you are aware of and your wider networks.  WeLoveMCR want to support as many groups and organisations as they can in this time of need. 

NHS Volunteers Responders

The government is setting up a NHS Volunteer Responder Service, hoping to recruit 250,000 people to do simple but vital tasks such as:

  • delivering medicines from pharmacies;
  • driving patients to appointments;
  • bringing them home from hospital;
  • or making regular phone calls to check on people isolating at home.

The NHS Volunteer Responders Service is not intended to replace local groups helping their vulnerable neighbours but is an additional service provided by the NHS. You can become an NHS Volunteer Responder and join the NHS’s trusted list of volunteers by clicking HERE
