Another UPG Landmark!

20,000 Food parcels distributed since March 2020. One million pounds of food distributed to vulnerable families and elderly households in a capital city that has considerable wealth and economic standing despite of Covid 19 and Brexit. What is there to celebrate? Plenty!

If you live in a Tier 4 area, you cannot leave or be outside of the place you are living unless you have a reasonable excuse. You cannot meet other people indoors, unless you live with them, or they are part of your support bubble. Outdoors, you can only meet one person from another household. You are strongly encouraged to stay at home.

Hands. Face. Space

Approximately 1 in 3 people who have coronavirus have no symptoms and could be spreading it without realising it.

Remember ‘Hands. Face. Space’.

hands – wash your hands regularly and for at least 20 seconds
face – wear a face covering in indoor settings where social distancing may be difficult, and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet
space – stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings)

FOOD DISTRIBUTION: Brook Green, Charecroft Hall, Edward Woods, Flora Gardens, Masbro and White City Community Centres

What our service users say ...

Covid-19 update

Although some of our regular services are not available due to the health crisis, Masbro is still here serving our community. Here is what some of our local residents had to say about our food distribution service. click video -->

Lockdown Heroes

Who is your Lockdown Hero?

In the country's hour of need many 'ordinary' people stepped up. As a result QPR in the Community Trust are working with Addison Community Champions to launch this exciting online campaign.

We are asking families to create a handmade card for someone who has been supportive and kind during these difficult times. We want you to produce and deliver a card to your Lockdown Hero.

We will share your images on QPR Trust's social media.

How do I help my community?

Covid-19 Mutual Aid UK

In response to the government’s call out for volunteers-

Click here for more infomation.

Remember that there are people in our communities who might want to participate in mutual aid without providing the sort of identification documents that are necessary to engage with the government’s scheme, particularly during a time of uncertainty regarding the extent of policing we are likely to see in our communities.

There are also situations where people seeking help may not feel comfortable or safe accessing government support, but would feel happy receiving support from ordinary people in their communities.

We encourage local groups to keep organising independently from government structures, continuing to follow rigorous hygiene and safeguarding practice and to communicate between each-other to learn and develop community solidarity structures during a time of very uneven support from official bodies.
