About the appeal

Manor Gardens responded swiftly to the changing needs of the vulnerable people we work with by moving all of our client-facing work to telephone and online support. On top of this we set up an emergency food distribution hub to bring vital food supplies bought in bulk to local people, delivered to their door by volunteer drivers. With your help we were able to purchase and distribute nearly 3,000 food parcels to people in need and provide therapeutic support for vulnerable people. With the emergency continuing and further lockdowns our support is needed more than ever.

How the funding will be spent
We now know that this emergency is affecting people's lives in several ways. People's mental health and wellbeing are suffering greatly and there is a rise in domestic abuse. We need to raise £50,000 to ensure we can support vulnerable people with their wellbeing and provide online counselling. We need £500 a week to pay for the extra resources for assess new clients and make welfare check calls. £500 a week will provide 10 online therapeutic groups or one-to-one sessions a week.

How this will benefit the community
We support people in North London who are vulnerable for many reasons including long-term conditions, mental ill health, isolation and poverty. Due to Covid-19 more people than ever are slipping into this group and we need more resources to help everyone who needs it. Our timely interventions, both practical and emotional, will prevent people's problems escalating and will enable them to continue to remain part of our community, improve their wellbeing and support their own families.
