Love Deepings! COVID-10 COMMUNITY COMMS Unchartered territory for all of us! Things are moving so fast! By the time you read this the situation will have moved on. A little glimpse into my day. Today ‘Love Deepings’ delivered across the community and chatted with community organisations, businesses and volunteers. We use these labels every day but, when you strip away the bones, we are all the same. We want what is best for our loved ones, for our families and we want our community to be a good place to live! I have been humbled, in the last week especially! The Mum at home with a family in isolation and co-ordinating village volunteers. The coffee shop up against it, offering free food, and the Deepings library determined to supply books to those cut-off! Just a sample of kindness across the Deepings. We are facing unchartered waters and the months ahead will test us all! Love Deepings is connecting with many local groups, agencies etc. So many people quietly beavering away, planning how they can help their communities . A network is growing, one armed with volunteers ready to help. I am sure more volunteers will be needed. In the times ahead; each of us may come to call upon the kindness of another.

• Look out for updates from local Councils and agencies – they will be shared to the page or posted directly. Rest assured, there are so many local volunteers working under the radar, many more starting to galvanise offers of help. Agencies are uniting across the Deepings and villages. That network will grow stronger over the coming weeks. We will all be tested one way or another. Some are already shining and thinking of the needs of others. Take care all Love Deepings Group Powered by Deeping Business Club
Love Deepings is currently connecting agencies and building a picture of what is set-up. Where possible we are encouraging the different agencies to work together, at that stage we may step back and then focus on helping to share their info on the page. See our page for a neighbour to neighbour template. If you would like to help a neighbour in isolation, and there’s no village group volunteers covering it, pop a neighbour postcard through their door. Please follow our page for updates. 35
