Welcome to the Shacklewell Ward COVID-19 Mutual Aid Group.

Shacklewell Mutual Aid has now shut down. For other mutual aid groups look at covidmutualaid.org

Mutual aid connects neighbours who need support in the COVID-19 crisis with neighbours who want to volunteer. Types of support include shopping for people isolating or picking up prescriptions.

To get involved and talk to your neighbours join our whatsapp group by visiting www.shacklewell.uk/chat on your phone or subscribe to our mailing list at the bottom of the page.

What is mutual aid?

  • Mutual aid connects neighbours who need support in the COVID-19 crisis with neighbours who want to volunteer. Types of support include shopping for people isolating or picking up prescriptions.
  • We provide mutual aid, not charity, so volunteers are not expected to pay for goods. We do not provide medical care or advice. 
  • Mutual aid is not meant to replace specialist services for people who have complex needs, and it is important to refer anyone who is looking for specialist support to local organisations that can give this (see here for a list of orgs that could help).
