We know there are many people in Hounslow who want to help in the effort to support our most vulnerable residents as we try to manage the spread of Coronavirus. The Hounslow Community Support Hub is here to harness that fantastic community spirit, and ensure the borough’s most at risk and isolated people receive the food supplies they need and other essential support, which may range from befriending to more complex care. 

The priority of the Hub for now is to protect the most isolated and vulnerable individuals identified and contacted by the NHS to be ‘shielded’. These residents have serious long-term health conditions and it’s vital we ensure there are support networks in place to so they’re looked after. The Hub is also there for anyone else vulnerable and isolated who may not have been contacted by the NHS.      

The Council will be working with voluntary and community partners, businesses and local volunteers to make sure these people are kept well and safe.
