NEEDING FOOD
Existing food banks have discretion to continue to support people they already know who are in need.
For all “new” recipients of food is:
• Recipients must make their request for food to the Derby Covid Community Response Hub via
covidsupport@communityactionderby.org.uk or
01332640000.
• A referral will be passed from the hub to a Local Ward Coordinator, who will aim to call the recipient within 24 hours to discuss needs and logistics(Excluding weekends). This will be based on priority need.
• If a recipient requires ongoing food parcels, then they will need to call the hub each time.
THIS PROCESS MAY CHANGE IN FUTURE
In light of the Government guidance around non-essential contact, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have issued advice that public worship is suspended until further notice.
